Predicting asphalt pavement temperature with a three-dimensional finite element method

A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed to calculate the temperature of a pavement located in northeast Portugal. A case study was developed to validate the model. Input data to the model were the hourly values for solar radiation and temperature and mean daily values of win...
