Calculate the stress at the edge region of a cement concrete pavement using Westergaard's stress equation. The following data may be used  Wheel load= 4100 kg Modulus of a elasticity of cement concrete= 3 x 10^5 kg/cm²   Pavement thickness=18 cm   Poisson's ratio of concrete = 0.15   Modulus of subgrade reaction = 6 kg/cm³   Radius of contact area= 15 cm
