Kindly, anyone know how to use ABAQUS for pavement engineering? I know that ABAQUS is used for Finite Element simulations of structural problems. So can we use it in pavement engineering ? And Is it possible to perform fatigue and rutting analysis of pavements on abaqus? For a partcular number of repetitions if possible ??
yes ABAQUS can be used in pavement engineering once you know the materials properties of each layers( modulus, poisson ratio and thickness). Sometimes damping when you want to do dynamic loading analysis

You can simulate the pavement as a plate elements with the corresponding material properties. The supporting layer can be simulated as a semi finite layer with the corresponding material properties. The interface between the pavement and the underneath layer is simulated by a linkage elements in the horizontal and vertical elements with appropriate stiffnesses.
Does any one have the pavement modeling tutorial. if possible pass me the link so I would watch and learn to do my dissertation. thank you
Ramesh Kumar Puspasagaram maybe this video can be usefull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Xinh0yBHU&list=WL&index=13&t=1250s
