Title: DOMAIN OF ANALYSIS OF ELASTIC MULTILAYER SYSTEM MODELED BY FEM

Results of analysis may be affected by the size of domain of analysis because FEM analysis is conducted in a limited domain instead of half-space domain. This paper investigates the proper size of analysis of FEM analysis. Backcalculating pavement layer moduli from FWD tests is based on a static analysis of impulse-type pavement response. This paper also investigates how factors such as loading time and loading pattern affect surface deflections.Read More
