Q1
The total tyre contact area is 360mm*250mm, and a 2D axial symmetric model is applicable in this case. We can define
our single element's dimension by 180mm*125mm (1/4 of total contact area). With a 6 by 6 elements, a plate sublayer
mesh can be created. plate dimension of each sublayer is same, 1.08m*0.75m. For the whole pavement structure is
made of 5 layers, Asphalt surface layer 4cm,Asphalt binder layer 8cm, Asphalt base layer 22cm, UGM 30cm, Subgrade
100cm, which have the numbers of sublayers by 2, 4, 11, 3, 3 respectively. In terms of 3 dimension, there are 20 nodes
for each element.
The descriptions of boundary condition: for the subgrade layer is resticted in x,y,z direction,which means no movement in
these directions. For the UGM and Asphalt layers, there is no movement in x,z direction, here we only consider the vertical
displacement. And the interface elements are defined flexible coupling between the two layers.

The picture shows in the right indicates a very high stress at the buttom of
asphalt layers,this is the case without bound layer. It is obvious that the stress
can not efficiently tranfer to other layers.The high tensile stress may also
cause cracking and rutting which we are always trying to avoid. On contrary
this risk will be greatly reduced in the bound layer with flexible binder material.
