Abstract: A consistent and theoretically rigorous approach is presented, using the principles of dimensional analysis, and leading to a closed‐form back‐calculation procedure for a two‐layer slab‐on‐grade pavement system. The equations ...

Abstract: The development of a computer program for the analysis of axisymmetric slabs of finite extent supported by an elastic solid foundation is described. CFES employs the method of concordant deflections and is much less taxing ...

Abstract: A new adaptation of an existing finite difference solution to the problem of a plate resting on an elastic solid foundation is introduced (program FIDIES). Square elements are employed throughout the slab, and external ...

Abstract: A formulation for the analysis of a general multilayered pavement system is developed in a manner analogous to that followed for conventional asphalt concrete pavements. The Burmister analytical solution is expanded to the ...

Abstract: This study considers a plate consisting of one or more layers, resting on a general elastic foundation, and subjected to a nonlinear through-the-thickness temperature distribution, together with arbitrary wheel loads. The ...

Abstract: This paper provides an in‐depth synthesis of knowledge acquired over the last several decades pertaining to the analysis and design of doweled slab‐on‐grade pavement systems. This task is accomplished on the basis of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the subsurface drainage features of the test pavement at the U.S. 50 joint sealant experiment near Athens, Ohio. The concrete pavement incorporates a
