TCP designs optimise the dimensions of concrete pavement slabs. TCP slabs are smaller than typical concrete slabs which allows them to better share the load of heavy vehicles
Methven (2004) shows that fiber reinforced shotcrete (FRS) has significantly faster development times compared with mesh and bolt ground support systems.
