 ABSTRACT

Every rigid pavement is unique and requires thorough analysis. The designer must take
intoaccount a large number of parameters. The design must be compatible with the
weatherconditions, construction equipment, construction methods, internalpermanent structures,
and ground conditions. Comparable cost studies should be analyzed todetermine if the rigid
pavement designing method is favoured over other techniques, such as precast or plain cement
concrete construction. The designing of rigid pavement must be done as per Indian Roads
Congress (I.R.C) guidelines.
