• Abstract:
  The rigid pavement design system computer program, RPS-3, designed as a result of this study is the third in a series of such systems developed under the project entitled "A System Analysis of Pavement Design and Research Implementation" (Ref 1), sponsored by the Texas Highway Department in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. The rigid pavement design system programs, designated RPS, have been developed in conjunction with flexible pavement design system programs, designated FPS, under the auspices of the Center for Highway Research at The University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University and the Texas Highway Department. At the time this particular study was begun, two versions of RPS and thirteen versions of FPS had been developed by the Project. The development of the two previous programs of the rigid pavement design system is documented in Refs 2 and 3.
