Several methods can be used to model pavement structures, namely multi-layered elastic theory (MET), finite element method (FEM), or finite difference method (FDM). In this study, three computer programs, KENLAYER and EVERSTRESS 5.0 which are based on MET, and ANSYS, representing the FEM, are used i...
