Mechanical Property Study on the rigid deck pavement based on Midas/civil finite element software

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, the traffic volume is also increasing, and more and more rigid deck pavement has been damaged in advance. This not only affects the beauty of the bridge, causes economic losses, but also seriously endangers traffic safety. By using Midas/civil finite element software to simulate the stress state of the rigid deck pavement, with the help of the data obtained from the analysis, it can be concluded that the rigid deck pavement is easy to be crushed in the middle of the span, and easy to be pulled and cracked on both sides.
