Abstract

The nonstationary temperature field is modeled by the finite element method. Results of the numerical analysis conform fully with the experimental data. By means of the developed finite element model, temperature variation has been obtained in points of asphalt concrete layers of pavement within one decade of the hottest period in the southern region of Kazakhstan. Using the solution of axisymmetric problem of elasticity theory for the layered media, stresses and deformations in specific points of flexible pavement under loading have been calculated at night period (when asphalt concrete layers temperature is minimum) and at day period (when asphalt concrete layers temperature is maximum). The obtained results showed that depending on temperature stresses and deformations in specific points of pavement change significantly. Therefore correct modeling of temperature field in flexible pavement is important in their designing.
