Finite Element Analysis of Dynamic Responses of Plain Concrete Pavements Under Strong Impact Loading

Abstract

Plain concrete pavements under heavy impact loading will induce flexure, crack and direct shear failure. To obtain dynamic response and failure mode of plain concrete pavement under heavy impact loading, the concrete brittle crack model is adopted and finite element model of plain concrete pavements is established; the dynamic response and failure mode under heavy impact loading in different loading points and different loading times are studied; the production, stretching and extension of cracking are researched; which is a powerful reference for practical engineering application.
