Applicability of the finite element method in analysis and sizing of JCPC slabs for two-lane roads

Two-lane road JCPC (Jointed-Plain-Concrete-Pavement) slabs were analyzed and dimensioned using the EverFE 2.25 finite element modeler in order to reproduce the efforts of the pavement slab in a more realistic way. The “Westergaard”-1948 analytical method was used for the validation. With the results...
