description Permanent deformation is one of the dominant asphalt concrete damages. Significant progress has been made to realistically predict the damage. In the last decade, the mechanistic approach has been the focus of research, and the fundamental theories of viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, continuum mechanics, and micromechanics are applied to develop the material laws (constitutive equations). This paper reviews the advancement of permanent deformation models including analogical, microstructural, and continuum-based methods. Pavement analysis using the nonlinear damage approach (PANDA) is the most comprehensive and theoretically sound approach that is available in the literature. The model coupled different damages and other phenomena (such as cracking, moisture, and phenomena such as healing, aging, etc.). The anisotropic microstructure approach can be incorporated into the PANDA approach for a more realistic prediction. Moreover, the interaction of fatigue and permanent deformation is the gap that is lacking in the literature. The mechanistic approaches have the capacity to couple these damages for unified asphalt concrete damage prediction.
