Abstract
The following master¿s thesis project has been developed within the Erasmus+ program in the Russian Federation and outlines the results of a series of experimental activities carried out at Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building. The objective of this study is to investigate climate change effects on road pavement design in areas characterized by continental and subarctic climates. The impact of different phenomena such as temperature and precipitations increase, as well as frost depth reduction, has been widely discussed by many climatologists and plays a key role in cold regions pavement assessment. The experimental activities, performed in the laboratories of the Road Construction Faculty, were focused on two reference sites, Tomsk and Salekhard, both located in the Siberia region.
A series of test sections equipped with special sensors allowed the determination of temperature and volumetric water content of the subgrade soil, which eventually enabled the validation of the measured data with models available in the literature
