36-39.
In order to study asphalt pavement crack propagation paths,the linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM) theory and finite element
method(FEM) that incorporate traffic load and temperature stress are used in this paper.Using quarter point collapsed singular isoparametric
element, the stress singularity at the vicinity of crack tip is simulated.The crack propagation paths are simulated by using window moviing; tech-
nique(WMT).Based on these,an asphalt pavement crack propagation paths simulation(APCPPS2D)program is developed.Under the various
load location cases, the crack propagation behavior of surface crack and base bottom crack are simulated using APCPPS2D.The influences of
layer modulus combination on pavement cracking are studied.The simulation results indicate that this method can simulate crack propagation
paths and help to understand crack behavior of asphalt pavement in a better way.
