Structural analysis of multi-layered concrete pavement systems

This study is concerned with analytical and numerical procedures applied to multi-layered concrete pavement systems. In the first part of this Thesis, analytical solutions for interior and edge loading are presented. The Burmister analytical solution for interior loading of a multi-layered system is expanded to the more general case of systems in which each component may be treated as a Burmister layer, or as an elastic spring bed, or as a plate. This study is useful for comparison of different models of pavement systems. The proposed procedure is implemented in the FORTRAN code DIPLOMAT. An edge loading solution for two semi-infinite plates resting on a general, multi-component linear elastic foundation is also obtained. The solution is implemented in the FORTRAN code DIPLOMAT-E. Several particular cases are considered in detail.
