Abstract
This chapter uses the validated model to run temperature simulations for various factors and then identifies the significant factors affecting thermal behavior. The validated model is first used to simulate temperature for a typical pavement structure under typical climate conditions in summer (July) in Sacramento, California, a location with high summertime temperatures. Sensitivity analysis based on the simulation is conducted on some variables. Findings about the specific effects of some factors show complex correlations between these factors and temperatures of pavement and near-surface air. Depending on the identified significant factors affecting the thermal behavior, effective potential alternative design strategies are then proposed.
