Abstract

To study the mechanical response and service performance of flexible pavement subgrades under long-term traffic loads, the current research state, existing issues, and frontier of the shakedown theorem in the design process of flexible pavement subgrades were reviewed. The basic principles of classical upper- and lower-bound dynamic shakedown theorem and their application and development in transportation geotechnics were introduced. The critical criterion and numerical analysis method of lower-bound shakedown were discussed in detail. Based on the case studied by the dynamic finite elements within artificial boundaries, the dynamic responses of pavement-subgrade system under the traffic moving loads were revealed. The effects of cross-anisotropic materials and wheel-pavement friction on the dynamic shakedown of the road structure were discussed. Research results show that the dynamic responses of the road structure under the traffic load are significant for the shakedown limit. The lower-bound shakedown limit level reduces with the growing traffic moving speed and reaches the minimum value when the moving speed approaches around the Rayleigh wave velocity of the structure system. The material mechanical properties of subgrade, the degree of anisotropy, as well as the wheel-pavement friction coefficient may also produce considerable effects on the lower-bound dynamic shakedown limit of the flexible road structure. The lower-bound dynamic shakedown limit of the road structure system increases at first and then decreases with the increase in the elastic modulus ratio of the upper and lower layers of the structure. The optimal modulus ratio corresponding to the maximum shakedown limit indicates that the critical position of the shakedown limit changes from the lower subgrade to the upper pavement. When the horizontal friction is considered, the increase in the wheel-pavement friction coefficient will obviously reduce the dynamic shakedown limit of the structure and weaken the influence of moving load speed on the dynamic response of the road structure.
