2. Engineering Calculations
2.1 Calculation of K (effective)

k (estimate) = p/deff
= 40/0.0071 = 5633.8028 kN/m2/m
= 817.0853 psi
1- Correction for subbase thickness
Resilient Modulus (MR) = k*19.4 = 15851.454 psi

Subbase thickness = 6 in
= 150 mm
from Figure 3.3 (AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

k (Composite Modulus) = 1000 pci

271300 kN/m3

2- correction for Loss of Support (LS)

LS = 3 (Table 2.7)
k (effective) = 28 pci (Figure 3.6 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)
= 7596.4 kN/m3

2.2 Elastic Modulus of Concrete (section 2.3.3 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

Ec = 4700(fc')^0.5
= 25742.96 Mpa
= 3732729 psi

2.3 Mean Concrete Modulus of Rapture, Sc (psi) (section 2.3.4 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

Sc = fr=0.7(30)^0.5 ≈ 3.834058 MPa

= 555.9384 psi

2.4 Load Transfer Coefficient, J (section 2.4.2 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

J = 3.2 (For dowel joint)

2.5 Drainage Coefficient, Cd (section 2.4.1 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

Cd = 1

2.6 Design Serviceability Loss (section 2.2.1 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

ΔPSI = Pi - Pt
= 4.5 - 2= 2.5

2.7 Reliability, R(%) (section 2.1.3 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

R = 95 %

2.8 Overall standard deviation, So (section 2.1.3 AASHTO guide for Design of Pavement Structures)

So = 0.35
2.9 ESAL (Equivalent single-axle load)

Axle (35 kN) = 35 kN

= 7.8 kips

Axle (145 kN) = 145 kN

= 32.5 kips

Assumed Thickness = 8 inch (200 mm)

Axle Load Equivalency Factors (Table D.13.)

ESAL factor for axle 8 kips = 0.035
ESAL factor for axle 32.5 kips = 10.1

ESAL 1.5E+6

Slab thickness (D) = 7 inch

= 177.8 mm
So, using slab thickness of 200mm is adequate.
2.10 Reinforcement

Determining flextural stresses in concrete pavement due to traffic wheel loads were developed by Westergaad.
To be applied for different loading conditions as follows:

Case 1: Edge Loading when the edges of the slab are warped upward at night

Case 2: Edge Loading when the edges of the slab are curled downward at night

Case 3: Interior loading

P = 16298.65 Ib = 72.5 kN
h = 8 in = 203.2 mm
l = 50.91285
a = 8 in = 203.2 mm
1.724h = 13.792 in = 350.3168 mm
b = 7.499612 in = 190.4902 mm

Case 1 σe = 612.1301 psi = 4.22049 Mpa

Case 2 σe = 536.9591 psi = 3.702204 Mpa
Case 2 σi = 353.7787 psi = 2.439219 Mpa

σ_allowable = 0.45*(fc')
= 2610.68 psi greater than σ Hence, only temprature reinforcement is required
= 18.00001 MPa greater than σ = 4.22049 MPa
Ast = 0.18%*b*h = 360 mm2 (As per ACI 318)
use rebar φ8 No. = 7.2
