Monolithic Roadbed's Mechanical Behavior Affected by Structural Thickness under Tram

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on ABAQUS software, a 3-D finite element model which content the nonlinear contact problems and contact-earth subgrade-monilithic was given to analysis the mechanical behavior of the monolithic roadbed. Mechanics behavior and deflection of the monolithic roadbed, deflection and compressive stress of earth subgrade evaluated in detail with respect to varied structure layer combination and materials parameters. The results indicate that the increase roadbed thickness can significantly reduce the monolithic roadbeds tensile stress, which can reach 1.042MPa. With the increase of the friction coefficient, level of tensile stress σdy, monolithic deflection Dd , the compressive stress σsz and deflection on earth subgrade were slightly reduced.
