摘要：	A rational, three-dimensional (3D) finite element modeling technique was developed to predict the structural response of a jointed concrete airport pavement system. Model features include explicit 3D modeling of the slab continua, load transfer capability at the joint, explicit 3D modeling of the base course continua, load transfer capability across the cracks in the base course, and contact interaction between the slabs and base course. Environmental effects were not explicitly included in the model development. The model was applied to predict the response of an instrumented pavement at the Denver International Airport (DIA) to a test vehicle driven over the instrumented pavement under day and night conditions. The DIA pavement was modeled as a three-layer system with the presence of cracking in the base course as well as a variety of interface conditions between the slabs and base course considered. Complex response patterns caused by environmental factors were observed in the data from DIA, making separation of load-induced and environmentally induced response difficult. The general shape and form of the deflection- and stress-based load transfer efficiency predictions from the finite element models match those observed at DIA. Model predictions of stress-based load transfer efficiencies were generally more accurate than predictions of deflection-based load transfer efficiency. The model developed represents a significant advancement in the state of the art and features innovations that are compatible with the Federal Aviation Administration's advanced pavement design model requirements.
