Question: To prevent transverse cracking problems due to temperature variation in plain jointed concrete pavement, you would like to limit the maximum curling stress at 3

To prevent transverse cracking problems due to temperature variation in plain jointed concrete pavement, you would like to limit the maximum curling stress at 300. You estimate that the maximum temperature difference between the top and bottom of a 12-in slab will be 30F with a linear distribution. For 12-ft slab width, determine the maximum allowable transverse joint spacing for three slab support conditions as discussed in Problem #1. The material properties are as shown in problem #1.
