Application study of precast panel for improvement of flexible pavement
Abstract
Currently, precast concrete panels are being increasingly used for rapid construction and repair of various types of pavement. Precast panels with controlled quality have been utilised since 1950, this report reviewedpublished literature and application of precast element in various forms and systems and found that precast concrete elements have had limited applications in flexible pavement. The Review application of precast concrete element and past experience of analytical study of precast slab system concluded that available analysis and design methodologies can be adopted for the improvement of various other types of pavement. The gathered information may used as solution to some special issues such as uneven subgrade settlement, strength reduction due to adverse whether condition and longevity.
