MUNOZ-VALENCIA, Andrés Fernando  and  OROBIO, Armando. PCAindustrial: free software to design industrial concrete pavements. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2019, vol.86, n.209, pp.327-336. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v86n209.71983.

The PCA design method for industrial concrete pavements and floors is well-known worldwide, however, the use of it has become impractical because of its complexity and the use nomograms as design tools. From this fact, there is a need to develop a simplified procedure that bring this method for designing industrial pavements to a computer software that allows to evaluate different design alternatives in short time, with high accuracy, and very low complexity. Latin hypercube sampling method (LHS) was used to sample the design nomograms to build surrogate models that was coded on the computer software called PCAindustrial.

Keywords : LHS; surrogate model; concrete pavement; PCA..
