... 10 UNBOUND LAYER AND SUBGRADE MODELS FOR PERFORMANCE INFLUENCE Table 2 to Table 5 demonstrate various characteristics of unbound layers and subgrade that affect the performance of flexible and rigid pavements. Based on these results, researchers searched and identified the ME models that address such influence.
