Study to Propose Using ABAQUS to Calculate Airport Flexible Pavement on Rigid Foundation

Structure of flexible pavement on rigid foundation in airport pavement structures is an advantage when building new airports in Vietnam and the world. However, when calculating this pavement structure, engineers encountered many difficulties because the working properties of this new system are not completely the same as pure rigid or flexible pavement. This paper is a study using the commercial software ABAQUS to model the working conditions and design the flexible pavement structure on the rigid foundation closely and accurately to help engineers calculate, design efficiently and quickly.
