Abstract: Pavement mechanics is the theoretical basis for the analysis and design of pavement structure. This paper mainly summarizes the research progress of pavement mechanics at home and abroad, and makes a brief evaluation of the existing research. At the same time, Finally, the factors and points that should be considered in the process of flexible pavement mechanics are put forward in order to achieve the purpose of optimizing the analysis method and get more accurate results. At the same time, the necessary research and prospect are carried out, To promote the formation of a complete theoretical system of road mechanics analysis.
