Finite element modeling of slab–foundation interaction on rigid pavement applications
Abstract Bending stresses produced in pavement concrete slabs are influenced by the contact condition along the slab–foundation interface. A finite element model for the analysis of frictional contact between unbonded pavement layers is presented. A 2D plate element is proposed for the idealization of composite slabs. Interface elements are used to connect the unbonded layers within the composite slab and to model the interface between the bottom slab layer and the foundation layer. Interface elements have the ability to capture the separation and sliding between pavement layers, due to thermal loads, and to calculate the frictional traction at their interface.
