Abstract
A finite element (FE) algorithm is developed to analyze the dynamic response of multiple, jointed concrete pavements to moving aircraft loads. A contact element model is developed to accurately represent the dowel pavement joints based on the Lagrangian multiplier method. The accuracy of the FE algorithm developed is verified by the available experimental and analytical solutions. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of various parameters on the dynamic response of pavements.
