The paper aims to model the nonlinear behavior of asphalt concrete numerically. The major constituents ofasphalt concrete are aggregates, air voids and asphalt binders which shows variation in properties depending on variousfactors. Therefore understanding the behavior and performance of asphalt concrete is quite complex. The behavior of asphaltconcrete has been treated as pure elastic traditionally. This assumption subjected to high speed traffic loading and lowtemperature. Therefore, the behavior will not remained same when asphalt concrete exposed to low speed traffic loadingduring high temperature. The research focuses on simulating the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete by incorporatingthe laboratory determined properties into finite element model. The mechanical model and three dimensional finite elementmodels developed numerically in this study help to simulate the behavior and response of asphalt concrete under any trafficloading conditions.
