Stresses in Concrete
Pavements
Contraction Stresses
Expansion Stresses
Warping Stresses
Control of Cracks
LOAD TRANSFER
load on one slab partially carried by
adjacent slabs
reduces tensile stresses in slab
reduces deflections at joints
Control of
Cracks
Load Transfer
Control of Cracks
Load transfer comes from:
-AGGREGATE INTERLOCK
-STEEL DOWELS
