Abstract:In order to explore the development law of reflection cracks in semi-rigid pavement under traffic load and the stress change trend under different crack morphologies, the stress intensity factor is used as the characterization object of crack stress intensity, and the change of stress intensity factor in the process of load movement is studied by changing the angle, length and traffic load of inclined crack. The results show that: 1) The open stress intensity factor KI decreases with the increase of the inclination angle of the reflection crack and the traffic load, and the peak value of KI decreases by 33.74% when the inclination angle increases from 0° to 30°; and the trend of shear stress intensity factor KII? is opposite, and the peak value of KII? increases 90.7% with the increase of inclination angle to 30°. 2) When the inclination angle is 30°, both KI and KI increase with the increase of crack length. Lateral comparison shows that KI is more significantly affected by crack length. Under the same crack length, the growth rate of KI? is about 32% higher than that of KII? ; 3) In the process of increasing traffic load, the peak value of KI increases from 0.235 MPa·m1/2 to 0.375 MPa·m1/2, an increase of 59.6%, and the comprehensive stress intensity factor is proportional to the traffic load. The research results have certain engineering application value for the reasonable evaluation of cracks in semi-rigid pavement structures and the maintenance and disposal of reflection cracks.
