Modeling Concrete road patch using ANSYS software

Abstract

In the continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), longitudinal steel bars installed inside the concrete slab are primarily intended to restrain a significant volume change in the slab due to temperature variations. Therefore it is very important to model the concrete road in the software i.e. finite element software to know the exact stresses and strain coming out on the body due to vehicular loads. The attempt to model is made in this study.The present paper consists of modeling of concrete road in finite element software i.e. ANSYS. The different components of stress and strain are observed through the graphics of software.
