| ABSTRACT For elastic  and plastic deformation properties of Unbounded Granular Material (UGM) the  Influences of UGM constitutive models and plastic deformation characteristics  were discussed. The  deformation characteristics and its influencing factors of UGM were summaried  and the elastic deformation influencing factor was determined. The UGM  elastic deformation constitutive models m the history were broadly reviewed and  its pros and cons were deeply analyzed,the stress-dependent constitutive models used in the research were  determined (K-
        and Uzan model);  stress tensor upgrade algorithm was derivation the stiffness matrix solving  method was compared, the finite element calculation program was prepared and  the data Interaction between ABAQUS main program and UMAT was cleared. Pavement material mechanic parameters were obtained by  laboratory tests, the traffic parameters were determined by WIN system  Instrumented m the field the temperature and rainfall data was Investigated  and the wavelet analysis was made.
 The reasonable UGM elastic d e formation analysis theory  was proposed The convergence modulus fie Id of UGM by using K-
  and Uzan model  was obtainded and the internal strain and stress of pavements with UGM base  were discussed and analyzed With UGM constitutive model of linear elastic  constitutive model, K-  stress-dependent  constitutive relation model and Uzan stress dependent constitutive relation  model and With the load condition of single axle, tandem axle and tridem  axle. The Influence of UGM constitutive model and axle type to pavement strain  and stress distribution was greatly discussed. The calculated results were  compared with measurements and verified. At last, a reasonable elastic de  formation theory was determined. Pavement  permanent deformation prediction models were put forward through theoretical  analysis. The UGM base asphalt pavement permanent deformation analysis steps  were cleared; the influence of modulus and thickness of pavement layer, the  traffic volume the axle load and the atmospheric temperature was stuied and  the significant test was made. Orthogonal tests were designed and the  calculated results were regressed to permanent prediction models. At last,  comprehensive comparison of asphalt pavements was proposed. Pavement test  section construction, strain/stress Instrumentation and UGM constitutive  model verification. The pavement gauge instrumentation process and its method  were introduced and the measured results were compared with theory analysis  ones to verify the accuracy of elastic deformation theory.  The UGM base  asphalt pavement design method, the design parameters and design process were  proposed. A project application example was put forward by combinng elastic  and plastic theory proposed the research.
