Abstract

In the article the analysis of methods of calculating non-rigid road pavements according to the criterion of elastic deflection. The possibility of using different solutions (Burmister, Korsunsky, Ivanov, etc.) to calculate the deflection of layers of monolithic and granular materials is evaluated. Based on this analysis, the formulas for calculating the equivalent modulus of elasticity of a two-layer system, the upper layer of which is made of monolithic or granular material, are recommended. The authors made the modification of formulas for calculating the deflection of asphalt concrete layers and the equivalent modulus of elasticity on their surface. The modification was made by introducing into the calculated dependences a scalar quantity, called damage. To calculate the damage, the principle of equivalence of deformations is recommended, in which the damage is determined using the relations of elastic modules of the damaged and solid body. To calculate the elastic modulus of the damaged body, a functional dependence on the number of loads was obtained.
