Abstract:

A computer program named FEACONS III (Finite Element Analysis of CONcrete Slabs) was developed in response to a need for a suitable analytical model to analyze the behavior of concrete pavements effectively and realistically. The program has been used extensively in the analysis of existing concrete pavements and a test road in Florida. The analytical model and computational procedure used by FEACONS III are described in detail, and the analytical results from the program are compared with actual measured results for a few specific cases. The FEACONS III program was shown to be both versatile and effective in the analysis of concrete pavement response. The modeling of the edge by means of edge stiffness and the joint by means of linear joint stiffness and torsional joint stiffness produced fairly realistic analytical results. It is hoped that this paper can enhance understanding and proper usage of the program and increase the awareness of highway engineers of the importance of the effects of temperature, joint, edge, and subgrade conditions to concrete pavement response.
