New Structural Systems for Zero-Maintenance Pavements. Volume 2. Analysis of Anchored Pavements Using ANSYS
This report is a manual which provides a set of procedures to evaluate the response of an anchored pavement subjected to vehicle static loads, moisture variation in the subgrade, and/or temperature variation through the surface of the pavement. These procedures include two computer programs known as FEMESH and ANSYS. The FEMESH program generates rectangular meshes in either a two or three dimensional coordinate system for any prespecified number and spacing of nodes. The ANSYS program evaluates the stresses, strains, and the deflections at all elements in each material included in the analytical model. The program can be used for any number of different materials in any direction. In the analysis of heat transfer, the program provides the distribution of temperature as a function of time at predesignated points. The program is versatile and capable of solving complex geometrical structures supported on a geologically complex earth mass. The behavior of an anchored pavement section is evaluated with sets of computer programmed mechanistic models. The manual was written to minimize reference to other publications.
