INTRODUCTIONRigid pavements do not flex much under loading like flexible pavements. They are constructed using cement concrete. In this case, the load carrying capacity is mainly due to the rigidity and high modulus of elasticity of the slab (slab action).
H. M. Westergaard is considered the pioneer in providing the rational treatment of the rigid pavement analysis.

LITERATURE REVIEW Yin - Wen Chan*, Shu - Hsien Chu, EFFECT OF
SILICA FUME ON STEEL FIBER BOND CHARACTERISTICS IN REACTIVE POWDER CONCRETE, Cement and Concrete Research 34 (2004) 1167–1172In this paper, the effect of silica fume on the bond characteristics of steel fiber in matrix of Reactive powder concrete (RPC), including bond strength, pullout energy, etc., are presented. The experimental results on steel fiber pullout test of different conditions are reported. Various silica fume contents ranging from 0% to 40% are used in the mix proportions. Fiber pullout tests are conducted to measure the bond characteristics of steel fiber from RPC matrix. 4
It is found that the incorporation of silica fume can effectively enhance the fiber–matrix interfacial properties, especially in fiber pullout energy. It is also concluded that in terms of the bond characteristics, the optimal silica fume content is between 20% and 30%, given the conditions of the experimental program. The microstructural observation confirms the findings on the interfacial-toughening mechanism drawn from the fiber pullout test results

M. Khabiri Mohammed and R. Kargaran Bafqi Mohammed, EFFECT OF PAVEMENT BOUNDARIES DEPTHS ON THE STRUCTURAL STRENGTH OF ROADWAY, journals of applied sciences research, 4(1) : 103 – 109, 2008 Pavement thickness is highly variable in country roadways. The main objective of pavement engineers is to insure that these stresses do not exceed the strength of materials used in different pavement layers. The main objectives of this study were to examine the effect of pavement shoulders on the structural strength of highways. The finite element analysis and the kenlayer computer program were used in the structural analysis of pavement shoulders. The analysis indicated that shoulder width would result in a slight reduction of vertical stresses.
6
OBJECTIVE & SCOPE To analysis the stresses in the rigid pavement using Westergaard’s & Bradbury's
analysis.
To determine mechanical property of silica fume concrete.
To evaluate the life cycle cost of the pavement.
To conduct model tests on rigid pavement slab using various mixes C0,C1 & C2.
To study the increase in flexural and compressive strength of concrete, this improves the pavement performance.

ADMIXTURES & ITS PROPERTIES:Silica fume
It is also known as microsilica, is a byproduct of the reduction of high-purity quartz with coal in electric furnaces in the production of silicon and ferrosilicon alloys.
Silica Fume is also collected as a byproduct in the production of other silicon alloys such as ferrochromium, ferromanganese, ferromagnesian, and calcium silicon.
8
Physical Properties of Silica Fume: Particle size (typical): < 1 μm Bulk density:
(as-produced): 130 to 430 kg/m3
(densified): 480 to 720 kg/m3
Specific gravity: 2.29
Silica fume affects both the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. The effects on concrete are a result of the physical and chemical properties of silica fume.
Chemical Properties of Silica Fume
Amorphous Silicon dioxide > 85% Trace elements depending upon type of fume.
In concrete, cement is replaced with silica fume at 3%.
10
Steel slag is produced as a by-product during the oxidation of steel pellets in an electric arc furnace.
This by-product that mainly consists of calcium carbonate is broken down to smaller sizes to be used as aggregates in asphalt and concrete.
They are particularly useful in areas where good-quality aggregate is scarce.

RIGID PAVEMENT DESIGN
The design procedure is explained for mix C2. INPUT DATADesign life : 20 yearsCommercial vehicles per day : 2000cvFlexural strength : 8.79 MPaModulus of subgrade reaction : 60MN/m3
Modulus of elasticity of concrete : 34493.67MPaPoisson’s ratio : 0.27Coefficient of thermal expansion : 0.0000336/cTyre pressure : 0.6MPaRate of increase of traffic intensity : 7.5%Spacing of contraction joints : 4.5mWidth of slab : 3.5m

STEP 1:The cumulative number of repetitions of axles during the design period may
be computed from the following formula
Cumulative traffic, C = A * 365 * { (1+r)n – 1} / rWhere A = initial number of axles per day in the year when the road is operational.r = annual rate of growth of commercial traffic.n = design period in years.
Design traffic:25% of total repetitions of commercial vehicles are expected to use the edge
of the pavement.
STEP 2:Assuming that midpoint of the axle load class represents the group, the total
repetitions of single axle and tandem axle loads are follows. 31

DESIGN OF TIE BARDesign of tie bar as per IRC: 58 – 2002
For concrete mix for C2 28days.INPUT DATA:Slab thickness = 30cmLane width = 3.5mCoefficient of friction, f = 1.5Density of concrete = 2400 kg/m3
Allowable tensile stress in deformed bars = 2000 kg/m2
Allowable bond stress in deformed tie bars = 50.3Diameter of tie bar, d = 12mm.
STEP 1: (Spacing And Length Of Diameter Of Tie Bar)Area of steel bar per meter width of joint to resist the frictional force at slab
bottom.As = (b x f x w) / s= (3.5 x 1.5 x 0.3 x 2400) / 2000= 1.89 cm2/m
35
Diameter of tie bar is 12mm, the cross sectional areaA = d2/4
= 1.131 cm2
Perimeter of tie bar, P = d= 3.769 cm.
Spacing of bars = A/As= (100 x 1.131) / 1.89= 59.84 cm
Provide at a spacing of 60 cm c/cLength of tie bar, L = (2 x S x A) / (B x P)
= (2 x 2000 x 1.131) / ( 50.3 x 3.77)= 23.85 cm
Increase length by 10cm for loss of bond due to painting and another 5cm for tolerance in placement. Therefore, the length is
= 23.85 + 10 + 5 = 38.85cm, say 40cm.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS: It can represent both linear and non-linear
analysis.
The linear stage, the concrete is assumed to be isotropic material upto cracking.
The non-linear stage, the concrete may undergo plasticity and/or creep.
37
It is used in all types of application to calculate a field quantity.
For a stress analysis, it could be displacement or stress.
For a thermal analysis, it could be temperature or heat flux.
For a fluid flow analysis, it could be velocity potential.
FEA is a way getting a numerical solution to a specific problem.

ABOUT ANSYS 12 PACKAGEThe ansys id the software package developed by ANSYS Group Engineering that was used to perform the finite element analysis in this study.

NUMERICAL EXAMPLE:
For concrete mix C2, the Material properties are;
Elastic modulus of concrete = 34493.67 MPaPoisson’s ratio = 0.27Size of Slab = 0.60m x 0.75m Thickness of Pavement Slab = 0.15m

CONCLUSIONS The earlier stage flexural strength is obtained by C2 mix. This leads
to increase the performance of pavement.
From the various mix replacements, the earlier stage flexural strength is obtained. This leads to increase the performance of pavement at various temperature conditions.
Using experimental results, 3D modeling is created using Ansys 12.
These results are been compared and analyzed. Using mat lab program, the rigid pavement design of IRC: 58 –
2002 is to be executed.
