1.
In the Marshall method of mix design, the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, filler and bitumen
having respective specific gravities of 2.62, 2.72, 2.70 and 1.02 are mixed in the ratio of 55, 34.6,

Functions
Expansion Joint : To relieve compressive
stresses due to expansion
Contraction Joints: Relieves tensile stresses,
prevent formation of irregular cracks.
Warping or Longitudinal joints: Relives
stresses due to warping
Construction Joints : May belongs any of the
above types
Longitudinal/
Warping Joints
Construction Joints
Expansion Joints

Combination of stresses
The cumulative effect of the different stress
give rise to the following thee critical cases
Summer, mid-day: The critical stress is for
edge region given by
Winter, mid-day: The critical combination
of stress is for the edge region given by
Mid-nights: The critical combination of
stress is for the corner region given by
Combination of stresses
The cumulative effect of the different stress give
rise to the following thee critical cases
The cement concrete slab is assumed to be homogeneous and to have uniform elastic
properties with vertical sub-grade reaction being proportional to the deflection.
Westergaard developed relationships for the stress at interior, edge and corner regions,
denoted as
in kg/cm
respectively and given by the equation 1-3.
