Si bien este es el principal factor que provoca daño en los pavimentos, el clima afecta también el desempeño de los mismos y no se ha estudiado ampliamente en ensayos a escala natural, ni mucho menos incluir su efecto de forma acelerada. En este artículo se describe parte de la implementación de un sistema para incluir de forma acelerada las variables climáticas en el laboratorio de pavimentos a escala natural PAVELAB del LanammeUCR. El sistema cuenta con capacidades únicas, entre las que se listan simulación de altas y bajas temperaturas, viento, lluvia y radiación solar. Se muestran algunos resultados de las primeras pruebas realizadas con el nuevo sistema y se analizan algunas de las posibles variedades climáticas de interés, para caracterizar el clima de Costa Rica en los ensayos que se realizan en el PAVELAB.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[AbstractFull scale accelerated pavement testing provides much more information about the actual behavior of pavement structures subject to specific mechanical stresses. While this is the main factor causing damage to pavements, climate also affects performance and has not been extensively studied in full scale tests, much less its effect on an accelerated basis. This article describes part of the implementation of a system to include an accelerated form of weather variables in the laboratory full-scale pavement facility called PAVELAB of LanammeUCR. The system has unique capabilities including simulation of high and low temperatures, wind, rain and solar radiation. Some results of the first tests with the new system are shown in this paper and some of the possible climatic varieties of interest to characterize the climate of Costa Rica in the tests performed in the PAVELAB are also shown.]]></p></abstract>
