ABSTRACT
The nonlinear mechanical response and orthotropy are the main properties of an unbound
granular material as a sub-base in an asphalt pavement. To investigate the impact of stress
and orthotropy characteristics simultaneously in an unbound granular sub-base, a constitu-
tive relation and a finite model were proposed. The distribution of the sub-base resilience
modulus and dynamic response of the pavement under vehicle loads were calculated. The
results show an increase in the resilience modulus with a decrease in the orthotropic co-
efficient. Stress and orthotropy affect the stress distribution near the pavement layer, and
vehicle velocity significantly impacts the vertical displacement.
