Some models have been presented to predic the rstent modulus of HMA by regression ans Accaring ta the experimental resus, the mast sigcant factors to enhance th resent modulus of HMA were the reducon of temperature, increase of lading me and $85 content in asphalt mixture, and fly the reduction ofthe rest perio to loading tme ratio, The most mportant factors to decrease the resent modulus cf HMA were increase of temperature; change the haversine waveform to square waveform, and increase of lading time, Keyword(s): RESILIENT MODULLS, LOADING TIME, REST PERIOD TO LOADING TIME RATIO, LOADING WAVEFORM
