Simulation study on crack extension law of asphalt pavement under temperature effect by Jing Xie, Jing Xie, Hui Xu, Tuo Huang, Tuo Huang

“…In modern highway construction, asphalt pavement is a widely used structural form, which is easily affected by various external conditions, among which the temperature effect is the most significant. In this paper, the cohesion model is used to simulate the structural cracks of asphalt pavement, the finite element method is used to simulate the asphalt concrete pavement model, and the temperature field simulation model of the pavement is established by using ABAQUS software, with the help of which the spatial distribution of stresses under different temperature conditions is deeply explored, and then the crack extension law during the process of temperature change is systematically investigated, and the effect of the temperature load on the degree of damage to the asphalt pavement is also studied. …”
