Institute of Transportation Studies, Working Paper Series from Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Davis

Abstract: Chapter 2 contains an outline of the methodology of this study. The methodology includes a characterization of the climates studied, a brief introduction to the software used to estimate pavement temperatures, and an outline of assumptions. Chapter 3 presents analysis of the pavement temperature and thermal gradient data. The analysis is organized according to pavement type and distress type. Chapter 4 presents an overview of the rainfall data. Chapter 5 presents the conclusions drawn from the data analysis and recommendations for inclusion of the results in current Caltrans operations and in the mechanistic-empirical design procedure being developed for Caltrans by the University of California Berkeley Contract Team.
