A Thermal Model for Asphaltic Concrete

Abstract

During calendar year 1981 the research effort of this grant was devoted primarily to three areas: (a) measurement of thermal properties of asphaltic concrete in the laboratory; (b) field tests performed to compare the results of the measured temporal and spatial temperature field induced in an asphaltic concrete pavement by a known energy input to those predicted by heat transfer theory using the thermal properties measured in the laboratory results; and, (c) a sensitivity analysis which indicated the influence of thermal properties of the asphalt and the heat source on the predicted temperal and spatial temperature field.
