Abstract: An alternative procedure for the determination of critical stresses and the thickness design of rigid pavements is presented. The effects of a finite slab size, different gear configurations, widened outer lane, tied ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to conduct in-depth investigations on the parameter identification and convergence study of slab track analysis. The idealized theoretical solutions are first investigated. Together with ...

Abstract: This study strives to develop improved fatigue cracking models using the long-term pavement performance database. The prediction accuracy of the existing models was found to be inadequate. Several modern regression techniques ...
