Review of Rigid Pavement Design for Vehicular Parking Areas.

Abstract

This paper documents proposed changed to TM 5-822-6, 'Rigid Pavements for Roads, Streets, Walks, and Open Storage Areas.' Changes are recommended in the areas of impact effects, the coverage versus thickness relationship, and effects of high-strength subgrades. Additionally, the criteria for design thickness of vehicular parking areas should be changed to account for different slab loading condition, including load transfer at joints. These changes establish a rational and consistent basis for CE design of rigid airfield and nonairfield pavements. (Author)
