The evaluation of support conditions under jointed concrete pavement slabs is an important input into pavement analyses. Closed-form solutions are available to determine support conditions under the central portion of the slab; however, these solutions assume interior loading (infinite slab) and slab-on-grade conditions.This paper provides corrections necessary to extend these solutions to finite slab sizes.Also provided are closed form solutions for determining foundation support conditions under slab edges and corners using deflection measurements obtained at these locations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
