Check Slab Flexural Stress: (assuming unreinforced slab with interior load condition)
Effective Load Radius, a = 7.979 in. a = SQRT(Ac/p)

Determine Estimated Crack Width: (assuming no use of stabilized or granular subbase)

Slab-base Frict. Adjust., C = 1.00 C = 1.0 (assumed value for no subbase)
Thermal Expansion, a = 0.0000055 in./in./deg a = 5.5x10^(-6) (assumed thermal expansion coefficient)
Shrinkage Coefficient, e = 0.00046 in./in. e = 3.5x10^(-4) (assumed coefficient of shrinkage)
