Evaluation of Effects of Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Wind Speed on Practical Characteristics of Plastic Shrinkage Cracking Distress in Concrete Pavement Using a Digital Monitoring Approach

Since environmental factors at pavement construction sites are usually changed, the behavior of plastic shrinkage cracking, which is a common type of distress in concrete pavement, needs to be assessed to avoid deterioration and apply a more appropriate preventive method. This study evaluates the effects of different ambient temperature (30, 35, and 40 °C), relative humidity of the air (20, 45, and 70%), and wind speed (18, 24, and 30 km/h) on...
