路面设计外文翻译…柔性路面设计 英文翻译 Flexible pavement design Gen erally speaki ng,pavements(a nd bases) may be divided into two broad classifications or tipes:rigid and flexible. As commonly used in the United States,the term rigid pavement^is applied to wearing surfaces constructed of Portiancbcement concrete? A pavement constructed of concrete is assumed to possess considerable flexural strength that will permit it to act as a beam and allow it to bridge over minor irregularities which may occor in the base or subgrade on which it rests;hence the term rigid.Similarity,a concrete base that supports a brick or block layer might be described as rigid. All other types of paveme nt have traditi on ally bee n classed as flexible.A commonly used definition is that a flexible pavement is a structure that maintain s con tact with and distributes loads to the subgrade and depe nds on aggregate interlock,particlefriction’and cohesion for stability\Thus,the classical flexible paveme nt in elude primarily those paveme nt that are composed of a series of granular layers topped by a relatively thin high-quality bituminous wearing surface .Typically,the highest-quatily materials are at or near the surface」t should be pointed out that certain pavementsthat have an asphalt surface may behave more like the classical zzrigidz,pavement,for example, pavement that have very thick asphalt surface or that have base courses composed of aggregate treated with asphalt,cement, or lime-fly ash. However,for convenienee of presentation,these pavements will be considered to be in the flexible class? The structure of flexible pavement is composed of a wearing surface： base, subbase (not always used), and subgrade ? The weari ng surface and the base often comprise two or more layers that are somewhat different in composition and that are put down in separate construction operations.On many heavy-duty pavements,asubbase of select material is often placed between the base and subgrade.the wearing surface may range
