Sensitivity to the length of the asphalt segment is given in Figures 19 and 20. The minimum temperatures at the asphalt surface change by 1.5C when the length of the asphalt segment is assumed to be 1 m long. The maximum temperature changes significantly by about 7.2C when an infinitely long segment is considered.
The surfacing of the asphalt is plant mix pavement (PMP) in the top lift of 1.4 inches (35mm) and PMP in the bottom lift of 5.2 inches (132mm). Asphalt temperatures are recorded at 18 different depths of the pavement between the surface and as deep as 25 inches (635mm).
