Chapter 7, Problem 7.4QP
What is your recommendation for the maximum size of coarse aggregate for the following situation? A continuously reinforced concrete pavement cross section contains a layer of No. 6 reinforcing bars at 6-in. centers, such that the steel is just above mid-depth of a 10-in. thick slab. Cover over the top of the steel is therefore about 4 in.

2. What is your recommendation for the maximum size of coarse aggregate for the
following situation? A continuously reinforced concrete pavement cross section
contains a layer of No. 6 reinforcing bars at 6-inch centers, such that the steel is
just above mid-depth of a 10-inch thick slab. Cover over the top of the steel is
therefore about 4 inches.
