Abstract:

RESULTS OF TESTS TO DATE INDICATE THAT THE USE OF REINFORCING STEEL IN CONCRETE PAVEMENTS PRODUCES STRUCTURAL BENEFITS WHICH ARE PARTICULARLY ADVANTAGEOUS IN PROLONGING THE USEFUL LIFE OF OVERLOADED PAVEMENTS. IN THE CASES STUDIED HOWEVER, IT APPEARS TO BE MUCH CHEAPER TO OBTAIN AT LEAST EQUAL BENEFITS BY INCREASING THE THICKNESS OF PAVEMENT RATHER THAN ADDING THE NECESSARY QUANTITIES OF REINFORCING STEEL. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT FOR THE CONDITIONS SURROUNDING THE TESTS, THE USE OF REINFORCEMENT IS NOT TO BE RECOMMENDED. /AUTHOR/
