Abstract

This study investigates the mechanical response and rutting performance of asphalt pavements using 3D-Move Analysis software based on the three-dimensional continuous finite layer method. A multivariate orthogonal experimental design was employed to simulate two pavement structures with different surface layer combinations (SBS-modified asphalt and SMA) under coupled thermal-mechanical loading. Key parameters including vehicle speed (35–77 km/h), temperature (0–40°C), and traffic volume (15,000–45,000 vehicles/day) were systematically analyzed. Results demonstrate that temperature significantly influences the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt mixtures, and optimal material selection effectively enhances long-term pavement performance. This research provides practical guidance for pavement structural design and material optimization.
