Analysis on the Traffic-Response of Asphalt Concrete Overlay on PCC-Slab

Article Preview

Abstract:

Focusing on the severity of asphalt concrete pavement crack, the optimization analyzing finite element model(FEM) of typical asphalt overlay pavement was developed to address reflective cracking, in which the analysis of traffic-loading response were concentrated on the stress-intensive areas close to the joints or cracks. The FE sensitive analysis, evaluating the influence of pavement construction parameters, including modulus and thickness of pavement courses, is useful to establish comprehensive model of overlay pavement construction.
