Determining the Viability of the "Rated Axle Load Enhancement System" for Concrete Pavement
[report]
1997
unpublished
Concrete pavements in large part are designed as flat slabs although in the past they have included thickened edges. Thickened edge slabs are used today where positive load transfer for some reason can not be provided. The Rated Axle Load Enhancement (RALE) system concept involves the use of longitudinal stems to stiffen the concrete slab. A close analogy is that of a wide double or quadruple "T" beam. The stems may be rectangular or trapezoidal. In this study, RALE systems with two and four
