Procedure for Temperature Correction of Strains Measured in a Road Pavement
Résumé
Regular and long-term infrastructures monitoring is fundamental for the assessment of road network conditions and the activation of adequate maintenance measures. When it comes to embedded sensing technologies for pavement monitoring much attention is paid to measurements accuracy and their understanding. Due to the viscoelastic behavior of the asphalt mix, the road pavement response depends on time and temperature. This paper aims at developing a methodology to adjust the strains measured within the pavement to a reference temperature. This methodology is based on the mechanical characteristics of the pavement and its sensitivity to temperature variations.
