Attached are two copies of a report entitled "Lateral Load Distribution and<br />
Use of PCC Extended Pavement Slabs for Reduced Fatigue." The report was<br />
written by Mr. Mark Sehr, Highway Engineer Trainee, and the final editing was<br />
. done by ERES Consultants.<br />
The paper sumnarites data and findings from several studies on Lateral Load<br />
Distribution and Load Stress at Pavement Edge. It includes discussion of the<br />
advantages of extended (or widened) lanes for PCC <strong>pavement</strong>s and their effect<br />
on stress, strain, deflection, and PCC <strong>pavement</strong> deterioration.<br />
We believe Mr. Sehr has prepared an excellent report and that it should be<br />
distributed to the division offices and shared with the States. We don't,<br />
however, have a sufficient number of copies to accomplish the desired<br />
distribution. Feel free to,make copies or contact Mr. Donald Petersen at<br />
FE 366-2226 to arrange for the printing of additional copies, or if you have<br />
any questions concerning the report.<br />
