Abstract
A raft-type pavement is a flat structure of plain cement concrete slabs, characteristically thin with respect to length and width, placed over a subgrade as schematized in Figure6.1. Each slab has its own boundary conditions determined by the support medium and by contact with surrounding slabs. The contacts between the slabs, which are called joints, are capable of accommodating shear stresses when the wheels of traffic pass across one slab and on to the next.
