Analysis of Reflective Crack control System Involving Reinforcing grid over Base-Isolating Interlayer Mixture

摘要

To develop a rigorous, mechanistic design method for asphalt overlays, one must have a method to accurately determine the response of the overlay system to various load conditions. this paper presents a cutting-edge nonlinear three-dimensional finite-element modeling approach for asphalt overlay analysis, including a viscoelastic constitutive model and realsitic raffic and environmental load conditions. these tools were used to analyze a proposed reflective crack controls system for Taxiway E at the Greater Peoria Regional Airport (GPRA), involving a base-isolating interlayer mixture used in conjunction with a glass-fiber reinforcement layer.
