Analysis of Load Transfer Efficiency at Joints of Monolithic Track-Bed under New City Tramcar Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

Joint load transfer ability is the key part of the analysis of the rigid pavement structure. This paper is focused on the load transfer efficiency at joints of monolithic track-bed under new city tramcar loading. Based on the general finite element analysis software ABAQUS, the relationship between the modulus of virtual materials in virtual material layer method and joint load transfer ability is analyzed. Meanwhile, bending stress and deflection for monolithic track-bed structure on edge loading case are calculated under different thickness of the pavement structure.
