REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RIGID PAVEMENT DESIGN

A PROGRESS REPORT IS PRESENTED ON EXPERIMENTAL STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT. AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAM OF AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION IS BEING CARRIED OUT, AND RUNWAY PAVEMENT REQUIREMENTS ARE COMPARED WITH HIGHWAY PAVEMENT REQUIREMENTS. HIGHWAY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SOME PAVEMENTS BUILT UNDER WARTIME RESTRICTIONS HAVE, UNDER WARTIME TRAFFIC, DEVELOPED SERIOUS BREAKAGE AFTER HAVING BEEN IN SERVICE LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. /AUTHOR/
