| Project: |
The objective of this research was to recommend the most economical and efficient design procedure for concrete pavement subject to heavy truck loading. The research evaluated design procedures from cold weather areas and other sources emphasizing mechanistic concepts, review of analyses pertaining to thickness design, and development of comparative design and life-cycle cost examples. |
