A concrete pavement slab shall be designed for the loads it is to carry. The designing engineer must take into account the traffic to be carried, the support offered by the subgrade, the strength of the concrete, and any other pertinent information.
Table 3 is provided as a guide to the engineers in designing city street pavements when only meager traffic information is available. Streets that are subjected to exceptionally heavy truck traffic shall require a more complete detailed analysis. Figure 3 is provided to determine (K) values, as used in Table 3, for those engineers familiar with the California Bearing Ratio Method (CBR).
Approval as to the pavement design, shall be obtained from the Planning Commission, or its duly authorized representative, if the street does not fall within the street classification listed in said table.
