| Popis: | Roads are utilized by many vehicle kinds and heavy vehicles among these may be seen as the most essential for cargo loading, causing paving failure and increasing expenses for rehabilitation and maintenance. In this study, in analyzing a finite element employing Abaqus 6.14, composite effects for wheel loads and temperature were addressed. The asphalt layer was designed as an elastic material, while the base and sub-bases were modeled according to the Mohr coulomb model like an elastic material. And studying the impact of wheel loads on flexible pavement settlement and the main output of analyzing pavement structure is almost represented by the vertical stresses and the surface deformation which are considered as the critical response point. A truck type 2S-2 was tried with two thicknesses of asphalt layer 140 mm and 250 mm and considering that base and subbase layer thicknesses remained constant so it does not affect the variation of displacement. It was found that the increase of asphalt layer thickness from 140 mm to 250 mm leads to a decrease in the vertical displacement of about 0.59% and studied the effect of modified asphalt with polymer and how it effect pavement vertical displacement with an obvious reduction from 0.590 mm to 0.265 mm under the repeated load of 36 ton and The vertical stress decreased from 5.036 kPa to 1.899 kPa |
