abstract="An algorithm is proposed for the edge bending stress in a slab- on- grade concrete pavement under complex loading and boundary conditions using a personal computer spreadsheet. The method relies on dimensional analysis for data interpretation and overcomes the limitations imposed by several of Westergaard's assumptions. The procedure is used to reproduce the &quot;Equivalent Stresses&quot; in the 1984 PCA Guide, and subsequently to investigate the effects of replacing conventional truck dual tires by a &quot;super-single&quot; (wide based) tire. The significant detrimental effect of &quot;super-singles&quot; is clearly observed. A sensitivity analysis of the effect of a number of other variables is also presented.<p />",
