Design of Prestressed Concrete Airfield Pavements Under Dual and Dual Tandem Wheel Loading

Design and Construction of Oblique Prestressed Concrete Pavement: A Case Study in China

“…Prestressed concrete pavements have been constructed for highways and airfields in Europe and the United States since then [1]. Some basic geometrical and economical designs of prestressed concrete pavement have also been reported [2][3][4]. The benefits of prestressed concrete pavement include improved cracking resistance and reduced slab thickness; while the prestressing increases the cost of the materials and construction, the reduction in slab thickness and transverse joints can compensate some of this cost [1,5,6].…”
