The　main　objective　of　this　paper　is　to　evaluate　the　rutting　potential　of　Direct　Coal　Liquefaction　Residue　(DCLR)　modified　asphalt　mixture　using　a　numerical　investigation.　The　viscoelastic　parameters　of　the　mix　were　obtained　using　the　dynamic　creep　test　and　time-hardening　power　creep　law.　The　effectiveness　of　the　parameters　was　validated　by　the　rutting　test　at　multiple　temperatures　and　tyre　pressures.　Considering　that　the　action　of　temperature　and　loading　field　together,　the　rutting　prediction　models　were　constructed　to　analyse　the　behaviour　of　pavement　with　DCLR　modified　asphalt　mixture　as　a　middle　layer　during　days/years.　The　pavement　test　results　show　that　the　DCLR　modified　asphalt　mixture　had　a　better　resistance　to　rutting　compared　with　the　control　asphalt　mixture　and　the　rut　depth　of　pavement　can　be　significantly　reduced.　During　the　full　day/year,　the　most　dangerous　period　that　is　more　prone　to　rutting　is　10:00　AM　to　18:00　PM　and　June　to　September.
