Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Dynamic Response of the Stress in Pavement Structure under Overload

Abstract:

In recent years, the phenomenon of vehicle overload in highway transportation is more and more serious. The three-dimensional dynamic FEM was adopted and a three-dimensional simulative model for asphalt pavement with subgrade based on cross-anisotropy under moving load was established by the large-scale finite element analysis software ABAQUS. The response of the stress in the pavement structure was got by using ABAQUS/Standard code. During deceleration, The simulation analysis results under the rated load were compared with those under the different overload ratio. The results show that, under moving load, the surface course of pavement is mainly in three dimension compressive stress state. The horizontal load caused by deceleration has a remarkable effect on the longitudinal stress and the horizontal shearing stress. The stress of the pavement structure under overload is much greater than that caused by the rated load. And the greater the overload ratio, the greater the deviation between them.
