Abstract
Emulsion-treated aggregate base layer structure is one of the popular choices to form a more stabilized layer, in which aggregates are treated with slow-setting bitumen emulsion. The aim of the study is to propose a three-dimensional finite element model that is capable of showing the potential benefits of using an emulsion-treated aggregate layer. The damaging effect of overloading and high temperature in a tropical climatic condition on the pavement response have been highlighted in this study. The analyses showed that by using an emulsion-treated aggregate layer, the rut resistance and fatigue life considerably improve.
