Title: Studies on the mechanics mechanism of concrete pavement premature failure
Abstract: To identify the cause of concrete pavement premature failure,twelve pavement structures are analyzed by finite element method in the paper.It is indicated that unsuitable pavement structure and low construction quality can increase the tensile stresses in slab and result in the pavement premature failure.It is conduded that unsuitable pavement structure and poor construction are two main causes which cause concrete pavement premature failure and it is necessary that the pavement structure should be suitably designed and the construction quality must fulfil the design requirements to reduce concrete pavement premature failure and prolong the life of concrete pavement.
