The invention discloses a method for calculating fatigue life reliability of an
asphalt pavement, and relates to the technical field of
road engineering. According to the method, actually-measured temperature field historical data and traffic
axle load data of an existing
asphalt pavement structure are obtained through an
asphalt pavement long-term performance observation network, the actually-measured temperature field historical data are extracted to construct a temperature field historical
data set, and a temperature cumulative probability distribution curve is generated; then, utilizing traffic
axle load data to generate an axle type cumulative probability
density curve and an
axle load interval cumulative probability
density curve, and based on Monte Carlo
simulation, performing inverse function sampling in each cumulative probability
density curve during each
simulation to obtain the structural response of the
asphalt pavement structure to determine the standard fatigue life; and determining the reliability of the fatigue life by counting the probability that the standard fatigue life obtained by Monte Carlo
simulation is greater than the standard cumulative action times within the design period. According to the method, the fatigue life of the
asphalt pavement structure is accurately estimated, and the design reliability of the
asphalt pavement structure is effectively guaranteed.
