DYNAMIC RESPONSE EVALUATION OF INCLINED PAVEMENTS WITH INTERFACE SHEAR

This paper documents the influence of the pavement-tire interface shear stress and vehicle speed on the response of sloping pavements. An efficient 'finite layer' moving load model has been used to predict the pavement strain response in terms of the principal shear strain and longitudinal tensile strain in the AC layer and the vertical compressive strain on top of the subgrade. The study reveals that, since the increase in the speed of the vehicle decreases the pavement-tire interface shear stress and increases the rate of loading, it plays a major role in decreasing the rate of pavement deterioration.
