Abstract

Fatigue is the important aspect in the rigid pavement design. Due to applications of the heavy loads fatigue occurs in the pavement in the form of micro cracks. This research “An Implication of Fatigue Concept on Design of Cement Concrete Pavement and Its Critical Comparison with Other Methods” gives the concept of involvement of fatigue concepts which is an important parameter in cement concrete pavement and mainly failure occurs due to fatigue failure. therefore study has been done in order to study the fatigue concepts. IRC method of design shall be compared with Portland Cement Association (PCA), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and other available methods. The effect of the over loading of the truck on pavement design shall be analyzed .Temperature related stresses in designing the rigid pavement are important parameter. Therefore day & night temperature difference shall be work out. Best design method is being evolved and a significance of fatigue concept is consequence Concrete pavements fail in field due to improper design. Proper method of design shall be proposed to achieve higher life and economy in long run. Early failure of pavement is observed in field due to poor design, which is a great loss to society and big inconvenience to road user. Such situation shall be avoided through proper design of road based on the research work.
