Abstract

Rutting (permanent deformation) is one of the most common and serious kinds of damage to flexible pavement, particularly in countries with high summer temperatures. Rutting also occurs when there is a lot of traffic and the use of poor materials. Pavement engineering is greatly influenced by the use of materials such as asphalt and cement in modern times. To study the effect of load, high temperature, and materials properties on rutting damage of flexible pavement this paper is the best approach to all these concerned issues related to rutting. Abaqus ver.6.12.1 has been used to simulate flexible pavement under different loading and thermal conditions. Three models have been developed in this paper, the first model simulated against traffic loading only, the second model shows combined traffic and thermal loading while the third model related with the change of materials property in terms of Young’s modulus (E).
