Me = equivalent moment, psi; different for single, tandem, and tridem axles, with and
without edge support - func on radius of relative stiffness, which depends on
concrete modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and thickness and the k-value
hc = pavement thickness, in.
f1 = adjustment for the effect of axle loads and contact area
f2 = adjustment for a slab with no concrete shoulder
f3 = adjustment to account for the effect of truck (wheel) placement at the slab edge
f4 = adjustment to account for approximately 23.5% increase in concrete strength
with age after the 28th day and reduction of one coefficient of variation (COV) to
account for materials variability
