  • To quantitatively analyze effect of five typical interface treatment technologies (chipping, grooving, SBR interface agent, SBR interface agent + chipping, and SBR interface agent + grooving) on interlayer shear performance of airport thin cement concrete overlays, interlayer constitutive parameters of different treatment technologies were calibrated based on laboratory shear tests, and a three-dimensional dynamic finite element model of aircraft-pavement considering interlayer bond-slip-friction behavior was constructed. Based on this model, a bond strength reserve coefficient and allowable slip coefficient taking interlayer slip as damage limit were proposed to quantitatively analyze interlayer shear mechanical behavior under single aircraft dynamic load. Results indicate that critical loading position of interlayer shear is mainly controlled by main landing gear wheel path and stably concentrates in slab edge region of wheel path entering/exiting slab under various parameter combinations; under adverse conditions such as high overlay modulus and strong dynamic load effect, interlayer of overlays without treatment and with only single treatment (grooving, chipping, and SBR interface agent) enters softening damage stage under single aircraft dynamic load, while interlayer of overlays with composite treatment still stays in cohesive bonding stage, indicating that composite treatment technology improves shear damage resistance capacity of interlayer of overlays by enhancing interlayer bond strength and effectively controlling interlayer slip. It is suggested that composite treatment technology combining SBR interface agent with chipping/grooving is preferentially adopted for airport thin cement concrete overlays, and wheel path region at slab edge is taken as key part for daily inspection and risk control.
