The book presents the development of a user-friendly software tool in Microsoft Excel to design rigid pavements based on IRC:58-2002 and IRC:58-2011 guidelines. It focuses on creating an eco-efficient and accurate computer-aided design process that reduces manual effort, time, and calculation errors in rigid pavement analysis. The research begins with a detailed review of pavement types, emphasizing the advantages of concrete pavements in terms of durability, sustainability, and reduced life-cycle costs compared to bituminous pavements. The methodology incorporates essential design parameters...
