Abstract:

Pumping is a common defect of cement concrete pavement,and it would further cause the void defect,which has much effect on the loading capacity of pavement structure. Through analyzing the formation mechanism of pumping,this paper proposes three measures to improve the anti-pumping performance of airport concrete pavementin structural design. These measures are increasing the thickness of pavement,increasing the joint load transfer capacity and increasing base strength. Using the finite element software,the effects of these different measures are analyzed. The result is that increasing joint load transfer capacity is the best,increasing the base strength takes second place,and increasing the thickness of pavement is the worst.
