The Impact

Viewing so many overload vehicles, this paper analyzes the stress distribution of asphalt pavement structure under heavy traffic theoretically, according to the main asphalt pavement structure form in our country. By using elastic layer theory and BISAR3.0 program, analyzed the mechanical response variation of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement under different axle loads. The results showed that the mechanical response and the stress indexes of pavement structure under heavy traffic changed significantly. Therefore, in asphalt pavement design, the impact of heavy traffic should be fully considered and we must take measures to control the overload situation.

With the constant increasing of traffic flow and axle load, the early failure of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement is increasingly serious in China. The bad durability and short service life of pavement have become main obstacles in road construction development. Based on the experience of successful application, the early failure of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement is solved, and the service life of pavement is increased by using of the composite asphalt pavement. To solve the design problem of the composite asphalt pavement , its mechanical properties influence results of are obtained by the factors, such as shear strain, shear stress, compression strain on top of subgrade, etc, by a lot of calculation using Shell pavement design software. These provide theoretical basis for durable asphalt pavement design based on rut-resistance property.

Design Result

Asphalt layer modulus is one of the important mechanical parameters in pavement design. It will directly influence the design result and the mechanical properties of asphalt pavement structure. Using pavement design and analysis software, the effects of asphalt layer modulus on surface deflection, tensile stress at the bottom of base and sub-base course, stress at the the bottom of asphalt layer and service life of heavy load semi-rigid asphalt pavement structure were analyzed systematically. And the influencing laws were analyzed, too. The results indicate that the mechanical properties, deforming characteristics and service life of heavy load asphalt pavement were influnced significantly by asphalt layer modulus. With the increasing of asphalt layer modulus, the surface deflection, tensile stress at the bottom of base and sub-base course would significantly decrease, and service life of heavy load semi-rigid asphalt pavement structure would be improved.

Nanomaterials are widely used in the preparation of modified asphalt because they can improve the high-temperature performance of matrix asphalt and have achieved good engineering results. However, the existing research mainly focuses on the material analysis and formula development of nanomodified asphalt and has not yet been involved in the mechanical response of the nanomodified asphalt pavement structure. The mechanical response contains the horizontal tensile stress and the vertical compressive stress of SiO2 modified asphalt pavement. It is unable to propose the matching pavement structure combination for the unique material characteristics of nanomodified asphalt, which leads to the increase of the possibility of pavement diseases and material waste. Hence, considering that semirigid base is the most widely used base type in China, two different structural models of nanomodified asphalt pavement are established according to the current specifications. The effects of pavement thickness, material type, and pavement design parameters on the mechanical response of nanomodified asphalt pavement are analyzed, and then the principle of optimal mechanical performance is taken and the optimal combination of nanomodified asphalt pavement structure is proposed.

Strain Responses

The internal mechanical response of asphalt pavement structure is difficult to be obtained because of the limitations of theoretical calculation and present testing methods. In order to get practical information of instructure layers, this paper analyzed the cumulative and instantaneous strains of layers’ bottom of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement based on Accelerated Pavement Testing and Fiber Bragg Grating sensors, as well as got the spatial distribution and time-variation law of longitudinal, lateral and vertical strain responses under controlled loading condition. The research result shows that under the moving vehicle loads, there is an obvious alternative property of tension-compression as the strain response of the pavement structure, and different variation shapes of instantaneous stain are in different layers from top to down. Also the measured instantaneous three-direction strain of the bottom of each surface are higher than the calculated values with BISAR, while they anatomizes well in base. This paper can be regarded as useful and tentative research and application on future correlative study.

Finite Element Software

In order to research the mechanical response of asphalt pavement under horizontal load which produced by the large aircraft braking process, large-scale finite element software is used in this paper. The model of main landing gear load is established to analyze the change of principal mechanics indexes of airfield pavement when the aircraft has different landing distance. The results show that: the horizontal load has a significant influence on the normal stress of landing direction, but the influence area is concentrated in the rear of the wheel. The horizontal load has more effect on horizontal shear stress and longitudinal shear stress, while has less effect on tensile stress of surface layer bottom, tensile tress of base course bottom and transverse shear stress. The tensile stress of surface layer will increase significantly when the braking distance is less than 2000m. Meanwhile, thickening surface layer could decrease the tensile stress and increase the fatigue lifetime apparently.
