Development of 3-D Finite Element Models for Geo-Jute Reinforced Flexible Pavement

Abstract: In this study, three dimensional (3-D) finite element analysis are performed to evaluate the effect of geo-textile interlayer on the performance of flexible pavement. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the improvement in stress distribution of flexible pavement due to the application of geo-jute at three specific positions i.e., subgrade-base interface, base-asphalt layer interface, and within asphalt layers. Stress, strain and displacement values are investigated and compared for the application … Show more

“…Assuming that each part of the material is uniform linear elasticity, the concrete and BFRP tendons have orthotropic expansion characteristics, and only the longitudinal expansion coefficient is given. We use cohesive contact to simulate the bond-slip characteristics between BFRP bars and concrete and ignore the lateral deformation caused by the embedding of the bars [9]. We use general static analysis to achieve uniform temperature drop simulation by setting different temperature field values.…”

“…The inclusion of geo-jute on flexible pavements significantly improves the pavement performance by producing lower stress, strain, and displacement at the top of the subgrade. The improvement in reduction in stress, strain, and displacement due to geo-jute is more significant when higher wheel pressure is applied [36]. The above methods can effectively solve the rutting problem seen in asphalt pavements.…”

“…Temperature, loading and bituminous material properties have an effect on the depth of rutting of asphalt mixtures [29]. Higher traffic loading result higher stress, strain, and displacement at top of the subgrade with or with no geo-jute inclusion [30].…”
