Abstract
An innovative dynamic analysis procedure based on a finite element alg orithm is developed to study the response of rigid airport pavements t o a traversing aircraft and a temperature gradient along the depth. Th e rigid pavement is modeled as a series of thin plate elements. The su bgrade medium is idealized as a viscoelastic foundation. The traversin g aircraft is modeled by spring and dashpot suspension systems. A para metric study is performed to investigate the effects of various parame ters on dynamic response of rigid airport pavements.
