Pavement characteristics as a function of environmental conditions

This data measures the impact of climatic conditions and heavy vehicles on road and runway pavements. The data were obtained over two years from a test site on Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs. Data was taken every minute of every day. Weather parameters measured include: wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, humidity, pavement surface temperature, pavement temperature at a depth of 75mm, solar radiation, moisture content at a depth of 75mm, moisture content at a depth of 600mm. Critical strains measured include: horizontal tensile strain in the pavement at a depth of 75mm, vertical compressive strain in the pavement at a depth of 300mm shear strain. This initial collection is part of an ongoing data collection project increasing to 5 sites.
