Poisson's Ratio u = 0.15

Lane width Lx = 300Cm
Spacing of contraction joints Ly = 300Cm

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-II .

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 fck

Hence,the 28-day flexural strength = 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 45.96Kg/Sqcm

Assume slab thickness h = 17Cm

Radius of relative stiffness l = Eh3 1/4

12K(1-u2)
 = 70.66Cm

Radius of load contact assumed in circular a = 15Cm

a/h = 0.7935370895 <1.74

b = radius of equivalent distribution of pressure

b = 1.6a2+h2 - 0.675h

= 12.61Cm

Lx/l = 4.25

Warping(Temperature) stress coefficient Cx based on Bradbury's = 0.51

chart at Lx/l(From Table 3 of IRC SP:62-2004)

Temperature difference(As recommended in Table 4 of = 19.00C

IRC:SP:62-2004)

Warping stress at edge = 15.31Kg/Sqcm

from Fig.1 of IRC:SP:62-2004

Residual strength in concrete slab at edge region = 30.65Kg/Sqcm

Load sress in edge region,

= (0.529P/h2)(1+0.54u)[4 log10(l/b)+log10b-0.4048]

= 29.80Kg/Sqcm

Edge load stress + Warping stress = 45.11Kg/Sqcm <45.96Kg/Sqcm

Hence safe.

Factor of safety available = Residual strength

Edge load stress

= 1.0286536091 >1

Hence the design is safe

Check for corner load stress

Sc = [3P/h2][1-(ax1.414/l)0.60]

= 23.06Kg/Sqcm <45.96Kg/Sqcm
So the design is safe
