Solution:

For a 20 cm thick cement concrete pavement, analysis of stresses gave the following values.
Wheel load stress due to corner loading = 25 kg/cm2
Wheel load stress due to edge loading = 27 kg/cm2
Warping stress at corner region during winter = 7 kg/cm2
Warping stress at edge region during winter = 5 kg/cm2
Warping stress at corner region during summer = 10 kg/cm2
Warping stress at edge region during summer = 8 kg/cm2
Frictional stress at edge region during summer= 5 kg/cm2
Frictional stress during winter = 4 kg/cm2
The most critical stress value for this pavement is ________ kg/cm2.
