Recently, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has found widespread use acrossvarious engineering disciplines, particularly in structural analysis. Its application in pavement structure analysis has become increasinglyprevalent. As mechanical investigation becomesintegral to pavement construction, FEM has emerged as a crucial tool for precise structural assessment. This paperprovides a brief overview of FEM-adapted flexible pavement design, focusing on the utilization of in finiteelement modeling to design different layers of pavement structures. The objective is to explore various FEM applications in flexible pavement design, high lighting its potential capabilities. Additionally, the strengths and weaknesses of FEM in this context will be discussed, along with an examination of current trends.
