Question

Various stresses in jointed plain concrete pavement with slab size of 3.5 m x 4.5 m are denoted as follows :
Wheel load stress at interior = $S_{wl}^i$
Wheel load stress at edge = $S_{wl}^e$
Wheel load stress at corner = $S_{wl}^c$
Warping stress at interior = $S^i_t$
Warping stress at edge = $S_t^e$
Warping stress at corner = $S_t^c$
Frictional stress between slab and supporting layer = $S_f$
The critical stress combination in the concrete slab during a summer midnight is

• A. $S_{wl}^c+S^c_t$
• B. $S_{wl}^e+S^e_t+S_f$
• C. $S_{wl}^e+S^e_t-S_f$
• D. $S_{wl}^c+S^c_t+S_f$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$S_{wl}^c+S^c_t$

Answer 2

The correct option is (A): $S_{wl}^c+S^c_t$.
