Specifically, the following sub-steps are included:

[0060] Step 4.1, according to the initial design plan of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, obtain the initial value of the modulus of each structural layer in the roadbed, semi-rigid base and surface layer.

[0072] In the semi-rigid base fatigue life prediction model, the semi-rigid base fatigue life field adjustment coefficient K c It is determined according to the thickness of the inorganic binder layer above the calculation point, as shown in Table 2.

[0073] Table 2 Table of values ​​for on-site adjustment coefficients of fatigue life of semi-rigid base

[0074]

[0075] The asphalt pavement reliability coefficient β is determined according to the highway grade, as shown in Table 3.

[0084] Step 4.5, compare the fatigue life of each structural layer in the semi-rigid base with the preset cumulative equivalent axial times. If the fatigue life of a structural layer in the semi-rigid base is greater than the preset cumulative equivalent axial times Ne, adjust the thickness of the corresponding structural layer; otherwise, set the modulus of the corresponding structural layer to a fixed value of 2000 MPa according to the preset semi-rigid base modulus value.

[0085] Step 4.6, compare the cumulative fatigue damage of the asphalt layer with the preset cumulative fatigue damage threshold of 0.1. If the cumulative fatigue damage D of the asphalt layer is not less than 0.1, adjust the thickness and modulus of the asphalt layer; otherwise, retain the current design of the asphalt layer.

[0086] Step 4.7, according to the thickness and modulus value of each structural layer in the semi-rigid base and the thickness and modulus value of each structural layer in the asphalt layer in the current analysis period, obtain the optimized semi-rigid base asphalt pavement design plan and enter step 4.8.

[0087] Step 4.8, determine whether all analysis periods have been traversed. If not, proceed to step 4.9 to enter the next analysis period. Otherwise, proceed to step 4.10.

[0088] Step 4.9, repeat steps 4.2 to 4.8 to optimize the design scheme of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement in the current analysis period.

[0089] Step 4.10, stop optimizing the design scheme of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, end the calculation of the accumulated fatigue damage of the asphalt layer, and determine the optimal design scheme of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement.

[0090] Figure 3 The material modulus attenuation curve of each structural layer of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement is analyzed. Figure 3 The modulus attenuation of the semi-rigid base layer is known, and when the design life is reached, the modulus of the base layer has decayed to 2000MPa. Figure 4 is the cumulative damage curve of the asphalt layer, and the Figure 4 It can be obtained that when the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement with the optimal design scheme reaches the design life, the cumulative fatigue damage of the asphalt layer is 0.021, which is less than the preset cumulative fatigue damage threshold of 0.1 for the asphalt layer, and meets the preset fatigue damage design requirements for the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement.

[0091] In summary, the method of the present invention comprehensively considers the influence of the modulus attenuation of the semi-rigid base layer on the fatigue damage of the asphalt pavement during the service life of the asphalt pavement, realizes the accurate prediction of the fatigue damage of the asphalt pavement within the design life, provides a basis for guiding the formulation of the optimal design scheme for the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, and is beneficial to preventing fatigue damage from occurring during the service life of the asphalt pavement.
