Summary
This paper presents the modeling of a multilayered structure for the purpose of simulating
the dynamic behavior of a flexible airfield pavement under the effect the loading
applied by a non-destructive pavement assessment device: the heavy weight deflectometer
(HWD). A Huet-Sayegh model is considered to describe the mechanical
behavior of bituminous layers. The benefits of viscoelastic behavior in bituminous
materials are highlighted using this modeling approach.
