The Finite Element Analysis of Asphalt Pavement with Function Layer under Temperature-Load Action

Abstract:

In order to study the performance of asphalt pavement with function layer under temperature-load coupling action, the thickness of surface layer, the module of surface layer and was analyzed to abtain their influence on the function layer stress using the finite element method. The results clearly indicated that it is very effective to prevent the reflection crack by increasing the thickness of asphalt surface layer and it is not obvious to reduce the reflection crack through enhancing the module of asphalt surface layer.
