Reevaluation of Shell Life by Mechano‐Lattice Analysis
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 4
Abstract
The influence of residual stresses and strains on the fatigue and rutting life of flexible pavements is investigated theoretically using Yandell's mechano‐lattice technique. The investigation concentrates on a hypothetical study that has revealed that residual stresses are built up due to the variations of plastic behavior between the various layers of the pavements. This study indicates that the mechano‐lattice method, which assesses the effects of the plasticity of road materials on the pavement structure, can improve the precision of flexible pavement designs.
