ABSTRACT Since 1999,The research of pavement’s design theory and methodology considering the material anisotropy has been done with the tutor of Prof. HU ChangShun of Chang’an Univ.and Prof. GUO ZhongYin of Tongji Univ.Discussing the problem of half-space body,multilayer elastic body and the engineering application. In my stage for Master degree:(1)The whole explicit expressions of state-transition matrix were derived;(2)The integral transformation expressions of surface displacement for half-space body were given;(3)Analyzing the effect of 5 independent anisotropic elastic parameters to the integral expressions of surface displacement for half-space body. In my stage for Doctor degree: (一)Theory establishing (1) Half-space body:The research work of Master stage is been developed.Also the The integral transformation expressions of general solutions for half-space body were given,the explicit expressions of surface displacement are given under the vertically forced force and uniformed round axisymmetrical load. (2)Multilayer elastic system:The initial value solutions of multilayer elastic system are first given,the key technical problem of calculating the multilayer elastic system is solved.The theory of computation for multilayer elastic system is established based on the cross-anisotropy. (二)The engineering application (1) Statement of problem Many experiment has proved the material cross-anisotropy at home and abroad.The test result of American researchers showed that:the ratio of horizontal modulus with the vertical modulus is about 0.9-4 for clay soil,that of HMA is about 0.2-0.5,hat of crushed stone is 0.03-0.21.But the response model of pavement design based on the cross-anisotropy is not established(Tutumluer,2002). Using the current pavement theory to predict the tension stress at the bottom of granular base,the solutions are often bigger,but the granular base is not destroyed.So,the new pavement design theory is needed to express accurately the real stress state of pavement structure. (2) The pavement structural analysis programs The current international pavement structural analysis programs based on the cross-anisotropy mostly have:The Australian pavement analysis program and the program of Illinois Univ.,but most of them are based on the FEM.The paper first give the pavement analysis program ANISOLAYER of analytic solution based on the cross-anisotropy. (3) Analyzing of subgrade surface displacement basin The most measured values of subgrade surface displacement are smaller than that of theory,so some researchers analyzed the displacement by putting the stiff layer within the subgrade.Because of the soil cross-anisotropy,when the ratio of horizontal modulus with the vertical modulus is greater than 1.0,the calculating theoretical values is smaller,maybe close to the measured values. (4) Analyzing of semi-rigid base pavement structure From the point of the displacement,the tension stress at the bottom of the semi-rigid base,or the compressive strain at the top of subgrade,the cross-anisotropy of soil has less effect on them. The cross—anisotropy of subgrade has the better linear relation with the surface displacement of the subgrade. (5) Analyzing of pavement structure including the granular base a:AC+granular base:Considering the CROSS-anisotropy of granular base,the tension stress at the bottom of the base would be decreased effectively,from the point of displacement,the tension strain at the bottom of AC layer and the compressive strain at the top of subgrade,the cross-anisotropy of crushed stone would decrease the life of pavement.It is suggested that the unsafety on account of the crushed stone cross-anisotropy should be considered in the design specifications.From the given example,the compressive strain at the top of subgrade would control the life of this type of pavement. b:AC+crushed stone layer+semi-rigid layer:The cross-anisotropy of crushed stone has less effect on the thicker AC layer from the given example,the tension strain at the bottom of the AC would control the life of the type pavement. c:AC+semi·rigid layer+crushed stone layer:The cross.anisotropy of crushed stone would decrease the life of the pavement,it has greater effect on the tension stress at the bottom of the semi-rigid base.From the given example,the tension stress at the bottom of the semi—rigid base would control the life of the type pavement.
