PCA Design Method
PCA Design Method
• Two failure modes considered:– Fatigue failure due to slab flexure– Erosion failure due to foundation compression
• Edge loads produce the worst stresses– Fatigue based on tensile stress due to edge loads
• Corner loads produce the worst deflections– Erosion based on deflections due to corner loads

Design Procedure1. Choose a trial slab thickness (h).2. For each axle load class:
a) Determine Ni for fatigue failure.b) Divide ni by Ni to determine fatigue damage factor di.c) Determine Ni for erosion failure.d) Divide ni by Ni to determine erosion damage factor di.
3. Sum fatigue and erosion damage factors over all of the axle load classes.
4. If both sums are less than 1 (life) your design is good; otherwise you need to increase your slab thickness.
