In order to study the impact of the cracks, which is on the semi-regrid base, on the stress absorbing layer during the old road rebuilding, the impact of the surface thickness, surface modulus and the stress absorbing layer thickness of bituminous concrete pavement structure, which have cracks on the base, on the stress of the bottom of topping of road was analyzed by the numerical analysis method of three-dimensional finite element. The calculation of pavement structure and the analysis showed that: the existence of the stress absorbing layer was helpful to reduce the stress concentration of bituminous pavement in the crack area; a cetain thickness of the stress absorbing layer, usually 0.5-1.5 cm, could improve the controlling the reflection crack in the pavement.
