The University of Minnesota's Department of Civil Engineering has developed a computer
program to show the cooling curve and recommended start and stop compaction temperatures
and times for pavement processes.
The user is required to choose a system of units, enter the time and date of paving, enter the
environmental conditions, enter the mix specifications and the existing surface conditions. The
program then runs a simulation and provides a graphical and numerical report. This data can be
exported from the program and imported into any spreadsheet or text editor.
This program is copyrighted but is free. The copyright owner allows you to: (1) use the
software, (2) make copies of the software and documentation, (3) give out copies and distribute
by electronic means. Users are specifically prohibited from charging or requesting donations for
any such copies.
