Article: Research from Wuhan University has provided new data on science.(Report)

According to recent research from Wuhan, People's Republic of China, "In this study a 2-D finite element model of a multilayered pavement structure of a cement concrete bridge was developed to calculate the temperature fluctuations in summer due to thermal environmental conditions for I week. The different specific heat capacity and absorptivity factors of the asphalt layers were considered."

"The results indicate that the surface temperature's fluctuation of the pavement is similar to the outside atmosphere temperature; the maximum temperature and temperature gradient of asphalt pavement decreased gradually from the top down; the larger the specific heat ...
