“…Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), as a type of jointless reinforced pavement, has the advantages of low maintenance costs and good pavement levelness, and it has been widely used in heavy traffic highways. [1][2][3][4] Therefore, this paper aims to study the dynamic behaviours of CRCP under moving loads. Substantial previous research on the dynamic responses of pavement plates was mainly based on Mindlin thick plate theory considering first-order shear deformation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] or classic Kirchhoff thin plate theory.…”

“…It is well known that plain concrete pavements produce a large number of defects at their joints due to long‐term service. Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), as a type of jointless reinforced pavement, has the advantages of low maintenance costs and good pavement levelness, and it has been widely used in heavy traffic highways 1–4 . Therefore, this paper aims to study the dynamic behaviours of CRCP under moving loads.…”

This paper aims to investigate the dynamic behaviour of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) on a multi‐layered transversely isotropic saturated subgrade subjected to a moving load. The stress‐strain relationship of the CRCP is obtained based on classic lamination theory. Then, the differential governing equations of the pavement are established by D'Alembert's principle. Combining the Fourier series expansion and integral transform technique, the displacements of the CRCP in the wavenumber domain are derived. By introducing pavement‐subgrade interface conditions, the solution to the pavement‐subgrade system is acquired with the use of the extended precise integration method (PIM). The solution in the spatial domain is further obtained by the numerical inverse transform. The presented method and the corresponding program are verified. Finally, parametric studies are conducted to determine the effects of the reinforcement ratio and position, the load velocity and the subgrade stiffness.
