Abstract
An innovative dynamic analysis procedure based on a finite element algorithm is developed to study the response of rigid airport pavements to a traversing aircraft and a temperature gradient along the depth. The rigid pavement is modeled as a series of thin plate elements. The subgrade medium is idealized as a viscoelastic foundation. The traversing aircraft is modeled by spring and dashpot suspension systems. A parametric study is performed to investigate the effects of various parameters on dynamic response of rigid airport pavements.
