N2 - Asphalt pavement structural design typically relies on empirical mechanical methods, with the layered elastic system widely used as the theoretical foundation for mechanical calculations. In the practical design process, the mechanical response of the pavement is influenced by various factors, including the pavement structure type, the loads form and size, and the interlayer bonding conditions. However, existing research has not yet systematically analyzed the specific impacts of these factors. The study explores the influence of various factors on asphalt pavement design using layered elastic system computations. By comparing the impacts of different factors on the mechanical characteristics of the pavement structure, the study identifies common patterns and clarifies the key areas and indicators in pavement design that are influenced by these factors. The results indicate that tensile stress is related to differences in modulus, and the mechanical characteristics differ across different structural types; the reduction in overall thickness and the load type coefficient affect the distribution of tensile and shear stresses. The findings provide theoretical support and reference for the optimization of mechanical calculations in asphalt pavement design.
