RIGID PAVEMENT DESIGN FOR ROADS AND STREETS ELASTIC LAYERED METHOD. PROCEEDINGS, 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONCRETE PAVEMENT DESIGN AND REHABILITATION, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, APRIL 18-20, 1989

The current design procedure of rigid pavements for military roads, streets, walks, and open storage areas is reviewed. The two computer programs used in the current and the elastic layered method are described. The development of the procedure using the elastic layered method and the discrepancies between the two procedures are presented. A design example is given illustrating the procedure for designing rigid pavement for military roads and streets.
