Abstract
Temperature and load are the major factors of road surface deformation. This paper studies how the temperature causes the road surface deformation and what the deformation trend is. A simplified model of the pavement structure and double round load loading mode were adopted respectively to analyze the stress and strain changes of road surface result of the load and the coupling effect of temperature and load. The major conclusions drew on this study are: stiffness modulus of asphalt mixture attenuates rapidly as the temperature increases, and thereby results in a significant shear deformation of asphalt pavement. At the same temperature, compressive stress decreases with the increasing of load and the deepening of the pavement structure. The influence of coupling effect of temperature and load is more significant than a single temperature or load factor. Under different coupling effect of temperature and load circumstances, the pavement structure influenced mostly by the shear stress is located 3-9cm underneath the surface.
