Abstract:

One of the best methods for analyzing the fatigue properties, the dissipated energy (DE) approach was used to investigate the fatigue properties of the cement concrete bridge pavement in this paper. Based on the DE concept for asphalt mixture, the fatigue life equation is derived for cement concrete bridge pavement sustaining repeated cyclic load. The composite beam fatigue tests were conducted using a third-point flexural bending test to determine the dissipated energy parameters and the relevant regression coefficients, and then the fatigue lives of pavement under different axle loads can be predicted. On the basis of these works, the fatigue life predictive formula of pavement using DE approach is expressed as a relationship between the initial dissipated energy and the fatigue life. The results of this paper have strong theoretical and practical value in establishing the fatigue design theory and method for cement concrete bridge pavement and estimating effectively the service life of concrete bridge pavement.
