Flexural resistance is the ability of a specimen to withstand force in two pedestals with vertical axis until it is broken. Flexible pavement is a type of pavement which is very dependent with pavement course underneath. The dependency of flexible pavement in both base course and subgrade makes this pavement difficult to apply in unstable soil. Using wire mesh course as reinforcement is considerably able to raise the flexural resistance. This study is aimed to analyze flexural resistance value in hot mix by using wire mesh course as reinforcement. The study is conducted by applying experimental method with designing four types of wire mesh laying models in hot mix using three points flexural test equipment. Based on the study result, it is found that hot mix with wire mesh laying 30 mm from specimen surface is the best model type with 291,85 KN flexural resistance value with 8 mm of deflection depth. In this laying, it can be concluded that wire mesh course can raise up the flexural resistance up to 35,41% compared to the hot mix without wire mesh course. © 2021 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.
