Displacement Field Study on the Full Width of Rigid Airport Pavement to Aircraft Loadings

Abstract:

Considering the joint loading-transfer effect, a 3-D finite element model which consists of thirty full-scale slabs is established. Making the aircraft loads act on different positions and calculating their vertical displacements. The results indicate that the loading area is compressive and the regions far away from loading area are tensile and that the vertical displacement curves change dramatically when aircraft wheels act on different locations.
