In order to provide the public with better services, there is an increasing demand for efficient transportation. Concrete pavements are used more commonly in highway building today. Concrete pavement is more efficient because of its increased strength, dependability, and endurance; however, temperature stresses have a big impact on concrete pavements. This study investigates the potential use of phase-changing material (PCM) to reduce temperature stresses in concrete pavements. to compare the temperature differences between various PCM replacement amounts in concrete mixes and compressive strength A heat simulator indoors with temperature sensors was used to measure the temperature difference between concrete formulations. The difference in temperatures is one of the primary reasons that concrete pavement curls. The results imply that lowering thermal stresses in concrete pavement by increasing PCM content.
