Computer Program for the Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Airfield Pavements.

Abstract

The report describes a digital computer program for the finite element analysis of jointed concrete airfield pavements. The program is designed to analyze the static response of a pavement to heavy multi-wheel aircraft gear loads. An equivalent plate theory is used to determine the effect of a stabilized base or a structural overlay on the total response of a pavement system. The subsoil is modeled as a Winkler foundation, i.e., only forces and deformations in the vertical direction are considered. (Modified author abstract)
