Abstract
Reliable and realistic computer simulations of pavement behavior are important for improving the design process of pavement materials. Most simulations involve 3D modeling and therefore large finite element meshes. Hence, the systems that result from discretization involve many degrees of freedom and are difficult to solve. Constitutive modeling is an expensive process when mesh sizes increase. The introduction of a parallel direct solver reduces both computation time and the number of iterations to solve the system and yielding more realistic simulations.
