The Study of Pavement Surface Temperature Behavior of Different Permeable Pavement Materials during Summer Time

Abstract:

This study explored the thermal behavior of permeable pavement during summer. T-type thermo-couple needle was utilized to measure the surface temperature of three different permeable pavement materials. Data were measured based upon the 24 solar terms of the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar and the results of Great Heat in comparison with other solar terms showed significant differences. Heat output model calculation results show that the average heat output is the lowest for grass bricks because of its high reflectivity. This material has a cooling effect, followed by permeable interlocking bricks. Permeable asphalt concrete can reduce pavement temperature but there were limitations to its performance.
