Abstract:

The rutting simulation method considering temperature variance and traffic time distribution is developed through ABAQUS software.The short-term behavior of pavement rut under the effects of temperature and traffic loading is addressed.Then sensitivity analysis on the factors of temperature and traffic loading is conducted and a short-term rutting prediction model is developed.The results show that under the same conditions of temperature and the number of load repetitions, rut increases sharply with the contact pressure in a linear manner, while as for the heavy load situation, the increases likely to be more nonlinear and faster;the significant factors affecting rutting include daily maximum air temperature, daily solar radiation volume, daily minimum air temperature, tire-pavement contact pressure and the number of load repetitions.Finally, a short-term rutting prediction model reflecting the effects of air temperature and traffic loading is developed, and it can be used for prediction and pre-warning for pavement rut prevention.
