Various stresses in jointed plain concrete pavement slab of size 3.5 m x 4.5 m are denoted as follows:
Wheel load stress at interior = Siwl
Wheel load stress at edge = Sewl
Wheel load stress at corner = Scwl
Warping stress at interior = Sit
Warping stress at edge = Set
Warping stress at corner = Sct
Frictional stress between slab and supporting layer = Sf

A
Siwl + Sit
B
Sewl + Set + Sf
C
Sewl + Set - Sf
D
Scwl + Sct + Sf

Correct : c
