Arvo Tinni's presentation references a 2008 Canadian study by the National Research Council, Centre for Surface Transportation Technology. A comparative study of three pavement types - concrete, asphalt and composite. Reported truck fuel savings of 1.8% and 3% at 100km/hr and 60km/hr respectively for concrete when compared with the next...

Role of SMZ & LMC in pavement design
The paper draws attention to the major differences in design methodology of flexible and rigid pavement designs. For concrete pavements, the design is based on the Equivalent Strength (CBR) of 1000 mm of subgrade. This includes the Selected Material Zone (SMZ) and is calculated using the widely accepted Japanese Public...
