INTRODUCTION
• Rigid pavements are those which possess noteworthy
flexural strength and rigidity.
• The critical condition of stress in the rigid pavement is
the maximum flexural stress occurring in the slab due to
wheel load and temperature change.
• Rigid pavements are made of Portland cement concrete-
either plain, reinforced or pre-stressed concrete
Properties Flexible Rigid
Design Empirical method Designed and analyzed by using the elastic
Principle Based on load distribution theory

Material Granular material Made of Cement Concrete either plan,
reinforced or prestressed concrete
Flexural Low or negligible flexible Associated with rigidity or flexural strength
Strength strength or slab action so the load is distributed over
a wide area of subgrade soil.
Normal Elastic deformation Acts as beam or cantilever

TYPES OF RIGID PAVEMENT
Three types of concrete pavements are
commonly used, namely:
•Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP)
•Continuously reinforced concrete
pavements (CRCP)
•Jointed reinforced concrete pavement
(JRCP)
Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JCPC)
Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement
(CRCP)
Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavement
(JRCP)
OBJECTIVE
To design the pavement for Navalgund bus
stand
DESIGN FACTORS
Pavement design consists of two parts:
•Mix design of materials to be used in each
pavement component layer
•Thickness design of the pavement and the
component layers
FACTORS GOVERNING DESIGN:
•Wheel load
•Design Period
•Design Traffic
•Temperature Differential
•Characteristics of subgrade and sub-
base
•Characteristics of concrete
CHARACTERISTICS OF SUBGRADE AND SUB-BASE
STRENGTH:
The strength of subgrade is expressed in terms of
modulus of subgrade reaction k, which is defined as
pressure per unit deflection of the foundation as
determined by plate bearing tests.
In case the plate bearing test could not be conducted, the
approximate k- value corresponding to CBR values can be
obtained from its soaked CBR value
using Table 2 (IRC:58-2002 )
CALCULATION OF CBR
DEFINITION:
California bearing ratio is the ratio of the force per unit
area required to penetrate in to a soil mass with a standard
circular piston at the rate of 1.25mm/min to that required for
the corresponding penetration of a standard material.
CBR = Test load corresponding to chosen penetration ×100
Standard load for same penetration
