Abstract:Design of portland cement concrete pavements is a complex procedure involving the evaluation and analysis of numerous variables. A wide variety of variables within the broad categories of loads, environments, material properties, maintenance, progressive failure, and economics must be considered in an ideal design procedure. Concrete pavement and overlay types, reinforcement selection, joint detailing, and selection of subbase materials are other factors increasing the complexity of design. Various methods of design have been presented in the past, but no procedure is generally acceptable due to the limited nature of the problem and analysis. The wide variety of structural and economic factors demands that a procedure be evolved to analyze various parts in a coordinated effort called systems analysis.
