The purpose of a rigid pavement design is to determine the thickness of the layers and the quality of the materials used in the pavement. The stresses occurring in a pavement should not exceed the modulus of rupture of the concrete. In this study, the answer to the most reliable and cost-effective solution for a pavement design for a single axle and different temperature gradients was investigated. 3D finite element analysis (FEA) using the ABAQUS package program was carried out with the Taguchi method. A factor, cost to stress difference ratio (Cost/(σ cr − σ max )), was developed to find both the most reliable and the cost-effective solution. The maximum principal stress was calculated by FEA for each of the alternative pavement design. Among the many alternative pavement designs, the solution that gives the minimum cost to stress difference ratio is selected as both the most reliable and cost-effective design.

The structural mechanics analysis of the Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) is considerably complicated and distinctive. From the application viewpoint, the capabilities and characteristics of two typical professional finite element software products, named KENSLABS and EverFE, are analyzed. The similarities and differences between these two programs are compared. The comparisons focus on some key factors of modeling and solution strategies, such as element type, meshing, traffic load and temperature curling, boundary conditions, and contact conditions. Based on one specific case example, the two software products were conducted to demonstrate their main functions. The research results clarify the performance of the two software products for structural analysis of cement concrete pavement and indicate each application conditions from their respective features, which can provide valuable references for software users and program developers.

“…It was concluded that adding mineral fiber increased the creep rate of asphalt mixtures, and low-temperature properties were improved. The problem of thermal stresses is important not only in asphalt layers but also in concrete pavements subjected to seasonal and daily changes of temperature [12,13].…”

Thermal stresses are leading factors that influence low-temperature cracking behavior of asphalt pavements. During winter, when the temperature drops to significantly low values, tensile thermal stresses develop as a result of pavement contraction. Creep test methods can be suitable for the assessment of low-temperature properties of asphalt mixtures. To evaluate the influence of creep test methods on the obtained low-temperature properties of asphalt mixtures, three point bending and uniaxial tensile creep tests were applied and the master curves of stiffness modulus were analyzed. On the basis of creep test results, rheological parameters describing elastic and viscous properties of the asphalt mixtures were determined. Thermal stresses were calculated and compared to the tensile strength of the material to obtain the failure temperature of the analyzed asphalt mixtures. It was noted that lower strain values of creep curves were obtained for the Tensile Creep Test (TCT) than for the Bending Beam Creep Test (BBCT), especially at lower temperatures. Results of thermal stress calculations indicated that higher reliability was obtained for the viscoelastic Monismith method based on the TCT results than for the simple quasi-elastic solution of Hills and Brien. The highest agreement with the TSRST results was also obtained for the Monismith method based on the TCT results. No clear relationships were noted between the predicted failure temperature and different methods of thermal stress calculations.
