description TIle purpose of this study is to determine the effect of non-linearity of unbound granular material as base course on the road pavement. This study focused in the determination of the effect of density and level of stress on resilient modulus at granular base material under repeated loading. The granular material was compacted at optimum moisture content of the 90 %, 95 % and 100 % of maximum dry density. The stress application assign to the stress situation caused by wheel loading affected at the base, upper subbase and lower subbase layer pavement. From the test result, the graph was plotted by regression analysis and the model fitted base on Brown and PeII, 1976, as Mr = kl (9/90)k2. The result obtained was analysed by Analysis of Variant (ANOVA) using t-test to detennine the effect of resilient modulus on density and level of stress. The resilient modulus increases as the level of stress and density increase, which means that the resilient modulus of unbound granular material is stress dependent and the relationship is non-linear. The effect of non-linear unbound granular material on the road pavement is determined by MICH-PA VE software. The flexible pavement was analysed based on Manual of Pavement Design (JKR) which the standard and construction layer thickness was taken.
