Abstract
Based on the Pasternak two-parameter foundation model, this study establishes a dynamic model for analyzing the deflection of slabs under moving loads. The variational method and reciprocal equal work theorem are employed to obtain the deflection solution, while the Matlab program is utilized with practical examples to calculate the foundation response modulus considering transfer shear force, bending moment, and their combined effects. By fitting measured dynamic deflections with theoretical predictions using the least square method, the response modulus K of the foundation is determined, demonstrating that our proposed model effectively captures the realistic behavior of rigid pavements.Keywords
