Different Analysis of Rigid Pavement Subjected to Multi Axle Load and Temperature Effect

Abstract

In this study the axle load studies are carried out to determine actual load of each axles on the road surface. In the present study, Static Weighing method is used for the axle load survey. The Sample size of the axle load survey is determined by conducting Classified Volume Survey as per IRC: 58 - 2015. Axle load Spectrum is generated with the help of axle load study. Based on the Axle load survey and Warping stress, stress - deflection analysis is done with the help of Westergaard Theory, IRC -58 (2015) and ANSYS software. Results which are analysis by Ansys is closed to Westergaard theory and IRC - 58 (2015) In the present study, stretch Kankot to Vavdi, near Punitnagar, Rajkot is selected for the analysis study.
