ASSESSMENT OF SLAB-BASE INTERACTION IN PCC AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS
When designing PCC pavement for airfield application, the significant increase in typical thickness affects the slab-base interaction characteristics. Previous studies on highway pavements have resulted in the popular conclusion that the thickness of a slab is only a secondary factor in determining the restraint characteristics present. This paper reviews recent developments in determining slab-base restraint characteristics of pavement thicknesses suitable for airfield pavements. This paper also identifies test procedures which have been developed to accurately assess the level of slab-base restraint present.
