Effect of the Dynamic Load on Stresses in a Deck Pavement with an Interlayer Contact Model

Random surface roughness of bridge deck pavement just like random road surface roughness was simulated by the harmony superposition method in this paper. The dynamic load of vehicle was calculated by the random surface roughness of the deck pavement and the quarter-car model. A finite element model of a box girder bridge and its deck pavement was established, and the bonding condition between the adjacent layers was assumed to be contact bonding condition. The stress values of the asphalt concrete layer were calculated and analyzed when surface roughness condition, vehicle speed, and disengaging area changed. Results show that random surface roughness of deck pavement affected the stress trend of the asphalt concrete layer obviously. The appearance of disengaging area would increase the stress values of the asphalt concrete layer and the normal tensile stress value between the asphalt concrete layer and the waterproof layer. This would speed up the damage of the asphalt concrete layer and enlarge further the disengaging area.
