Analysis and Optimization of the Causes of Cracks in the Pavement of Highway and Railway Intersections

Abstract

Firstly, an in-depth analysis is conducted on the principle of crack formation in the pavement panel of highway and railway level crossings and the reasons for cracks under load. Then, based on the characteristics of crack formation in the pavement panel, structural optimization design is carried out on the pavement panel, and finite element analysis is conducted on the optimized structure to verify whether the optimization is reasonable, reduce the occurrence of cracks in the pavement panel of highway and railway level crossings, and extend the service life of the pavement panel.
