Note: O represents the original model; +CF represents the model considering the cable forces; E represents the model with the slab modelled with solid elements instead of shell elements; +CE represents the model considering the cable forces and with the slab modelled with the solid elements; +CEA is developed from +CE by taking into account the effects of the asphalt layer.
