Abstract: Climatic conditions have a significant influence on the behavior of granular materials and bituminous materials of road pavements. This work presents a study concerning the influence of climatic conditions in Timor-Leste, particularly the temperature influence on the flexible pavements design. This study, after summarizing the behavior of flexible pavements for design purposes and climatic conditions in Timor-Leste, presents a study on the influence of temperature and bitumen stiffness on the structural behavior of a flexible pavement.
Keywords: climatic conditions; Timor-Leste; temperature; flexible pavement; traffic.
