Title: An analysis of the integrated model of climatic effects on pavements
Abstract: One of the functions of the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) integrated model of climatic effects on pavements is simulation of the pavement temperature. The model was applied to certain field cases for which pavement temperature measurements were available. The model seems to be capable of providing a reasonable estimate of pavement temperature if realistic input variables, particularly appropriate thermal properties, are utilized. A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of variations in the air temperature, solar radiation, percent sunshine, and thermal properties on the calculated pavement temperatures.
