COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:

The 1920s were the beginning of the “Mechanistic – Empirical” Design Procedure (Related pavement thickness to traffic loading)
·         The critical stress was found in slab corners
·         Mechanistic – Based on computed pavement response
·         Empirical – Calibrated to observe pavement performance
·         A design thickness was limited to the stress of ½ the concretes Modulus of Rupture (MOR)
·         Edges of the concrete were thickened
·         1930s Westergaard’s equation was adopted
