The Mechanics of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements : Technical Paper
, 1958 This investigation is primarily concerned with the deflect and the resulting stresses in a continuously reinforced concrete pavement, loaded simultaneously with longitudinal and transverse loads. The theory developed for the computation of the deflections is based on the common assumptions used in the theory of continuous beams on elastic foundations ...
