  • Abstract:
  • Rigid Pavement is made up of cement concrete. Load transfer in Rigid Pavement is by slab action. Challenges arise when the pavement is on Black Cotton Soil as it has properties of Swelling and Shrinkage. Pavement at town Paithan in Maharashtra has underwent severe cracks. A study of this particular pavement has been undertaken. In this work, analysis of pavement is carried out considering swelling and shrinkage as the major concerns for the pavement. EPS Geofoam is studied and its results have been discussed as they both are options for mitigating swelling pressure. Wherever road is on high embankment Geofoam could be used. Results of analysis of cracks match with those observed during field visit.
