Abstract:
Pavement distress is the condition of the pavement structure that impairs or contributes to the impairment of serviceability. Stress from axle loads, temperature change in bituminous layer, and moisture and temperature fluctuations in an underlying layer can all contribute to this condition. Nevertheless, pavement response under moving loads behaves as a time-dependent and transient parameter, and as axle loading and speed requirements have continued to increase due to an increase in traffic volume, an improved model for evaluating stresses and deflections of pavement has become a pressing need. Multiple nonlinear layers sitting on a foundation containing the interaction of numerous variables compose the pavement structure. Consequently, numerous academics have taken a rational approach to finite element (FE) modelling for improved pavement simulation and analysis. In addition, it is widely acknowledged that, due to the complexity of vehicle and pavement modelling when addressing the influence stress from axle loads, numerical methods of analysis is required. Since one hundred years ago, asphalt-coated flexible pavements and roadways have been in use. Currently, flexible pavements are primarily designed using empirical methods. However, a trend toward more mechanistic design methodologies is currently occurring. In general, layered elastic analysis and two-dimensional finite element (FE) approaches have been used to predict stresses, strains, and displacements in flexible pavements; nevertheless, they suffer from a number of significant drawbacks. To address these issues, pavement constructions must be analyzed using three-dimensional (3D) FE analysis. This study examines the usage of ANSYS and KENPAVE to analyses the reaction of the distress model of flexible pavements using Finite-Element Methods.
