Abstract

Although the choice of asphalt pavement when dealing with asphalt concrete crashes seems to be the fastest and most economical option, the prolongation and release of reflective cracks can lead to a recurrence of this system. In order to understand the refractory quiescent complexities, we should know the best mechanism for the behavior of these cracks in the asphalt pavement. Therefore, in order to better understand the reflection cracks and the ability to estimate the growth rate of cracks and the life of asphalt cladding under the influence of this type of failure, in this research, the limited components of asphaltic pavements with reflective cracking damages and modulus of elasticity were linearly and nonlinearly analyzed using ABAQUS software. In this paper, the issue of critical crack width and the most critical point of the load, which leads to the widest crack in the pavement, have been investigated.
