Abstract
A finite difference (FD) model based on one-dimensional
transient flow of energy and a general finite element (FE)
program ABAQUS were employed to investigate the cooling
properties of HMA. The results compared favorably with
those obtained from the field measurements. Thus, the time
required to open a roadway to traffic can be estimated from
the nomographs developed. It is concluded that the numerical
model can be used to develop nomographs including various
environmental factors and HMA and base properties.
