Abstract

Temperature change of the semi-rigid base course is one of the reasons of the appearance of the reflective crack. The stress intensity factor of the semi-rigid asphalt pavement is calculated with the finite element method. Sensibility analysis is made on the parameters (modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, thickness) affecting the magnitude of the stress intensity factor. Above all, it is concluded that the graded gravel can reduce the reflective cracking
