STUDY OF THERMAL CONDITIONS IN PAVEMENTS BY MEANS OF SEMI-CONDUCTOR ELEMENTS /IN RUSSIAN/

THERMAL CONDITIONS IN SUBGRADES AND SUB-BASES ARE STUDIED BY MEANS OF SEMI-CONDUCTOR ELEMENTS. THE METHOD OF INSERTING THE HIGH PRECISION THERMISTORS IN THE PAVEMENT, SHOULDERS AND SUB-BASE IS DESCRIBED. AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE APPARATUS USED FOR MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE IS GIVEN. WITH THE HELP OF THE MEASUREMNTS OBTAINED, THE DEPTH OF FROST PENETRATION CAN BE DETERMINED AND THERMAL GRADIENTS QUANTITATIVELY ASSESSED. THIS INFORMATION IS USEFUL FOR IMPROVING THE STABILITY OF THE PAVEMENT, SOIL MOISTURE CONTROL AND PROTECTION OF THE PAVEMENT AGAINST FROST. /LCPC/RRL/
