The article provides a new approach to assessment of granular soil shear strength in road pavements made of paving stones from the point of view of granular medium mechanics. The new approach consists in considering the features of normal and shear stress distribution in the multilayer structure of road surfaces made of artificial paving stones. The results of new approach make it possible to judge upon reasonability of considering the discrete structure of granular materials used in transport construction.
