DISCUSSION OF REPORT AND SUPPLEMENTARY STUDIES: EFFECT OF REINFORCEMENT IN CALIFORNIA - SUMMARY OF REPORT

OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE ON SHORT SECTIONS OF REINFORCED PAVEMENT AND ADJACENT PLAIN CONCRETE SLABS IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY ROADS BETWEEN LOS ALAMOS AND ELWOOD. ON WELL DRAINED POROUS SUBGRADES NO DIFFERENCE WAS FOUND BETWEEN PLAIN AND REINFORCED SLAB. IN HEAVY SOILS OR OTHER UNFAVORABLE SUBGRADES THE STEEL REDUCED THE NUMBER OF CRACKS AND PREVENTED CRACKS FROM OPENING AND RAVELING.
