Two Parametric Non-Linear Dynamic Analysis Of Rigid Pavement

Highway and airport designers have always shown keen interest in understanding the pavement behavior and continuously improving it. In the early stages of development, the evaluation of pavement stress was generally based on a simplified static-elastic analysis. This has proved to be quite satisfactory for vehicles and airplanes that are light or travel at low speeds. However, as loading and speed requirements have continued to increase, improved models for evaluating stress and deflection in pavement have become necessary. The implication of such studies is that pavements should be analyzed dynamically. The objective of this study is to carry out dynamic analysis of pavements by using two parametric foundation models. By carrying out the regression analysis based on the results obtained from dynamic analysis using various soil and pavement parameters an empirical equation is developed for the prediction of critical velocity and maximum deflection.

Keywords- Two parameter model, Non-linear, Dynamic analysis, Soil structure interaction.
