Effects of accelerated loading on the stress response and rutting of pavements

In order to assess the difference in performance of pavements under conventional loading and accelerated loading, in this paper, based on the characteristics of pavement strain recovery in accelerated pavement tests (APTs), we define accelerated loading and conventional loading in pavement permanent deformation research. The finite element method is then used to establish a flexible contact model between tire and asphalt pavement. By using...
