This invention provides a method for calculating the critical point of
fatigue damage in full-thickness
asphalt pavement, relating to the field of
road engineering technology. The invention first divides the full-thickness
asphalt pavement into multiple sub-
layers, then obtains its annual temperature field and annual
axle load spectrum, determines the temperature model of the full-thickness
asphalt pavement and the number of equivalent
axle load applications per hour, and combines
laboratory test results to obtain the
dynamic modulus calculation equations and multi-temperature fatigue equations for each sub-layer. The temperature of each sub-layer is obtained using the full-thickness
asphalt pavement temperature model, and the
dynamic modulus value of each sub-layer is determined using the
dynamic modulus calculation equations. Then, the flexural
strain response of each sub-layer is calculated based on its dynamic modulus value, and its fatigue life is calculated using the multi-temperature fatigue equations for each sub-layer. Combined with the number of equivalent
axle load applications per hour, the
fatigue damage value of each sub-layer is calculated and accumulated to obtain the cumulative
fatigue damage of each sub-layer in the full-thickness
asphalt pavement, accurately obtaining the critical damage point of the full-thickness
asphalt pavement.
