I have couple of confusion regarding analysis of concrete pavement for airport using FAARFIELD software. It will he highly appreciated if someone can help me in this regard.
1. What is the concrete slab dimension considered for the structural analysis of rigid pavement using FAARFIELD software? This is because of the fact that considered slab dimension is taken by-default and not clear to the user.
2. There is no temperature differential related input parameter for the analysis purpose in the FAARFIELD software. Therefore, how does the analysis incorporates the thermally induced stress due to temperature differential between top and bottom of the slab?
3. How to incorporate new aircraft type in the analysis process? This is due to the fact that there is option of only predefined aircraft for analysis purpose is given in the FAARFIELD software.
