THE EFFECT OF GEOSYNTHETICS MATERIALS IN PREVENTING ASPHALT PAVEMENTS FROM REFLECTIVE CRACKING

Based on fatigue fracture mechanics theory, the analysis is carried out for the fatigue cracking of reinforcing asphalt concrete pavements under traffic loads by using FEM. By comparing, it is pointed out that the bonding condition between reinforcement and semi-rigid base course and the characteristics of reinforcement influence the fatigue cracking life of reinforced asphalt concrete pavements apparently. For the covering abstract see ITRD E117244.
