Abstract:Traffic associated fatigue of concrete is a significant influence on the distress of the rigid pavement system. This study reports the fatigue property of concrete as well as a stress analysis of reinforced and nonreinforced sections at the AASHO Road Test. The concrete fatigue equation was developed for the prediction of the allowable number of applications on concrete at any applied stress level. In the stress analysis, the effect of load transfer and the loss of support of pavement slab were taken into consideration for both pavement types.
