I have calculated the stress in a pavers on grade due to wheel load, using equations derived from Westergaard, but would now like to check it. Does anyone know of any software that will do this? PCA used to have the AIRPORT programme but no longer do.

Check PCA Slab Thickness Design for Industrial Concrete Floors on Grade with charts to work out stress OR

Check ACI 360R-06 Design of Slabs on Ground
