Abstract

In order to prevent reflection cracking of composite pavement, the Hills formula, Goodman hypothesis, and ABAQUS software are used to carry out simultaneous dynamic modulus tests on composite pavement specimens. The temperature shrinkage stress formula for an asphalt surface considering stress relaxation is derived. The change rule for the accumulated temperature shrinkage stress of an asphalt surface layer with varying cooling range and cooling rate is obtained. The influences of different asphalt and concrete layer thicknesses on the temperature shrinkage stress at the asphalt layer bottom joint are obtained considering the influence of concrete shrinkage on the temperature stress at the asphalt layer bottom joint.
