Abstrait:

In order to investigate the influence of modulus of the base layer on the strain distribution for asphalt pavement, the modulus ratio of the base layer and the AC layer (Rm) is introduced as a controlled variable when keeping modulus of the AC layer as a constant in this paper. Then, a three-layered pavement structure is selected as an analytical model, which consists of an AC layer with the constant modulus and a base layer with the variable modulus covering the subgrade. A three dimensional (3D) finite element model was established to estimate the strains along the horizontal and vertical direction in the AC layer under different Rm. The results show that Rm will change the distribution of the horizontal strains along the depth in the AC layer; the increase of Rm could reduce the maximum tensile strain in the AC layer, but its effect is limited; the maximum tensile strain in the AC layer does not necessarily occur at the bottom, but gradually rises to the middle with the increase of Rm. Rm could significantly decline the bottom strain in the AC layer, and there is a certain difference between the bottom and the maximum strain when Rm is greater than or equal to one, which will enlarge with increasing Rm. Rm could change the depth of the neutral axis in the AC layer, and the second neutral axis will appear at the bottom of the AC layer under a sufficiently large Rm. The average vertical compressive strain in the AC layer will significantly enlarge with the increase of Rm.
