Title:

Influence of Temperature and Other Climatic Factors on the Performance of Soil-Pavement Systems

Accession Number:

01692681

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Typical climatic and environmental data obtained during the AASHO Road Test are summarized. A brief description of the instruments, methods of installation, and measuring techniques is presented. The influence of temperature and climatic factors on the performance of soil-pavement systems are examined, including the effect of the various cover conditions on the seasonal fluctuation of the groundwater level, on the depth of frost penetration, and on the temperature in different parts of the soil-pavement system. In addition, the influence of temperature on the soil-pavement performance as reflected in surface strains and deflections is discussed. Finally, the seasonal fluctuations of strength characteristics of pavement components and of subsurface conditions are evaluated. It is suggested that the data available from the AASHO Road Test can provide a useful basis on which to develop a more complete understanding of the performance of soil-pavement systems.
