Assessment of Thermal Stresses in Asphalt Pavements Due to Environmental Conditions
Temperature fluctuations in asphalt pavements significantly affect pavement stability and the selection of asphalt grading. Ability to accurately predict asphalt pavement temperatures at different depths and horizontal locations based on environmental conditions will greatly help pavement engineers not only in the selection of the asphalt grade to be used in various pavement lifts, but also in the accurate assessment of thermal stresses in and between various asphalt lifts. This is especially critical when the asphalt pavement is exposed to extreme freeze and thaw conditions. Accurate knowledge of the temperature and thermal stress distribution in asphalt pavements will allow for a more sophisticated specification of asphalt binder grades for lower lifts and thus provide an economical solution to rising pavement construction costs.
