i)Modulus of reaction of sub base(k):The modulus of sub grade reaction(k) corresponding to CBR value of 5% from Table(1) of IRC SP 62-2004 is 4.2Kg/cm2/cm The C.C pavement is proposed over the existing base course of 75mm thick WBM Gr-III . Hence the k value can be increased by 20% Hence effective 'k' value is 5.0Kg/Sqcm/cm

ii)Flexural strength of concrete Minimum design mix of M30 is recommended by the clause 3.6 of IRC SP 62:2004 Using M30 grade concrete,flexural strength is 0.7 Hence,the 28-day flexural strength = fck 3.83Mpa

For rural roads,it is suggested that the 90-day compressive strength may be used instead of 28-day compressive strength,as prescribed by the code. Taking 90-day flexural strength for design purpose Assume slab thickness Radius of relative stiffness h l = = Eh3 12K(1-u2) 45.96Kg/Sqcm 20Cm
