    In modern highway construction, asphalt pavement is a widely used structural form, which is susceptible to various external conditions, among which the temperature influence is the most significant. In the paper, the cohesion model is used to simulate the structural cracks of asphalt pavement, the finite element method is used to simulate the asphalt concrete pavement model, and the temperature field simulation model of the pavement is established by using ABAQUS software, with the help of which the spatial distribution of stresses under different temperature conditions is deeply explored, and then the crack expansion law during the process of temperature change is systematically investigated and the effect of temperature loading on the damage degree of the asphalt pavement is also investigated. The effect of temperature loading on the damage degree of asphalt pavement was also studied.

    Keywords: asphalt pavement, cohesion modeling, Abaqus, Crack extension, damage
