TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN BITUMINOUS MACADAM, CONCRETE AND LATERITE SLABS IN TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT (PART I)

RESULTS ARE PRESENTED IN GRAPHICAL FORM OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS MADE ON THREE SPECIALLY PREPARED SLABS, ONE OF BITUMINOUS MACADAM, ONE OF CONCRETE, AND THE THIRD OF SOIL/CEMENT (LATERITE), EACH MEASURING 10 FT SQUARE BY 6 IN. THICK. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE SPECIFICATION OF THE TEST SLABS AND OF THE INSTRUMENTATION USED IN THE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS, TOGETHER WITH A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT SLAB TEMPERATURES VARY WITH TIME AND DEPTH, CLIMATE, AND THERMAL AND OTHER PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL. /TRRL/
