In this paper, the tension in rigid pavement of runways has been analyzed and compared using finite element analysis by ABAQUS, FEAFAA soft wares. Comparing this tension and the number of flights by plan based airplane, the desired result will be reached and the optimal pavement design from economic and technical perspectives will be chosen to run.&lt;/p&gt;
