Abstract :This article presents recent findings on the effect of thermal variances on pavements. The study presents findings from different researchers and groups across the globe. The study covers temperature measurement in asphalt pavement, history of asphalt pavement temperature prediction models, determination of asphalt layer depth temperature, main factors contributing to temperature variations of asphaltic pavement, energy balance in flexible pavements, asphalt pavement design incorporating the temperature factor, the effect of temperature on the structural performance of asphalt pavement climate and environmental factors. Summarily, the study deduced that temperature has a reasonably substantial effect on the asphalt pavement layer`s mechanical and physical material characteristics.
