Finite Element Analysis of Pavement Structures Using AFPAV Code (Linear Elastic Analysis)
The report deals with the structural analysis part of the rational pavement evaluation procedure being developed by the U.S. Air Force. It describes the research effort directed toward evaluating the Airfield Pavement (AFPAV) Code and conducting parametric studies of pavement systems using this code. The AFPAV code, which is an analytical model based on the finite element structural analysis technique, has been developed to represent all types of pavement systems. To evaluate the performance of the code, the data from the full-scale pavement tests sections at the Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi, were analyzed using this code. The code was also used to conduct parametric studies of rigid and flexible pavement systems to determine the effect of changes in pavement layer properties on the pavement response. These results revealed that the AFPAV code can be used effectively in the rational pavement evaluation program, once the properties of the various layers of the pavement systems are accurately determined.
