CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES FROM WEATHER REPORTS

Abstract

PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES ARE OF INTEREST IN CONNECTION WITH STABILIZATION OF BITUMINOUS SURFACES, CURING AND CURLING OF PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE, AND MOISTURE MOVEMENTS IN ANY TYPE OF PAVEMENT. THIS PAPER PRESENTS A RELATION BETWEEN PAVEMENT TEMPERATURE AND WIND, PRECIPITATION, AIR TEMPERATURE, AND SOLAR RADIATION, AS CONTROLLED BY THE THERMAL PROPERTIES OF THE PAVEMENTS. /AUTHOR/
