Efficiently and actively dissipating accumulated heat within asphalt pavement is crucial for reducing pavement distress and improving subgrade stability. This paper proposed a novel inverted “T” shaped heat induced structure (IT-HIS) that facilitates the rapid transfer of heat from the pavement to the subgrade and shoulders. The IT-HIS consists of two components: a vertical gradient thermal conductivity structure utilizing steel slag, and a horizontal oriented carbon fiber heat induced structure. The heat transfer behavior of the IT-HIS was analyzed using a finite element heat transfer model created in ABAQUS, and the results were validated through indoor irradiation experiments. The findings demonstrated that the IT-HIS enhanced heat flow and promoted secondary aggregation in the vertical direction, while facilitated lateral heat dissipation. Compared to the ordinary group (OG), the heat flux of IT-HIS at depths of 5 cm and 6.5 cm increased by 19.8 % and 64.6 %, respectively. The indoor irradiation experiment results indicated that during the heat absorption period, the IT-HIS reduced temperatures at depths of 0 cm, 2 cm, and 5 cm by 1.5 ℃, 1.7 ℃, and 1.1 ℃, respectively. During the heat dissipation period, the IT-HIS reduced temperatures at depths of 0 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm by 0.9 ℃, 0.7 ℃, and 1.8 ℃, respectively. The IT-HIS enhanced the cooling effect during daytime and inhibited heat upward during nighttime based on the gradient thermal conductivity structure. The proposal and validation of this structure provide a fundamental approach to forming large-scale high-speed microchannel heat dissipation within asphalt pavements, and is expected to provide experimental and theoretical foundations for the development of directional active cooling technologies.
