Title:

Road in Winter Conditions: Contribution of Geotechnical and Thermal Properties

Abstract:

With regard to road's freezing behaviour, effects of geotechnical and thermal parameters are generally well known. Previously, some effects on surface temperature had been studied. In this study, we present numerical simulations with Gel1D-LCPC and CESARLCPC software, to examine influence of other parameters on pavement surface temperature evolution. The parameters having the most importance are the water content and the meteorological conditions. The determination of these parameters is generally worse.
