ESTIMATION OF THE CONCRETE PAVEMENT TEMPERATURE FIELDS AND THEIR GRADIENTS by M. K. Pshembaev, Ya. N. Kovalev, V. D. Akelyev

“…The source of deformation processes is the character of the gradient temperature fields in the road dressing materials developing with both protracted (static) and short run (dynamic) heat-and-mass impacts that forward destruction of the pavement surface layers being in contact with free air. In addition, pulsating hydrodynamic pressures appear in the pores of moisture-laden pavement as a result of the vehicular traffic that foster material structure disruption of the surface layers leading to irreversible deformation incipiency (cracks etc.). …”
