CALCULATION OF

STRESSES
 CALCULATION OF STRESSES
Select a slab panel normally 3.65 x 4.5 m
Assume liquid foundation( soil as a series of springs
below the pavement)
Calculate stresses at inner, corner and edges for a single
tyre load
Calculate stresses at inner, corner and edges for a dual
tyre load, calculate equivalent single tyre radius
If stress is maximum at corner provide dowel
If stress is maximum at edge provide tie bar
If stress is maximum at center revise thickness
