Reclaimed Waste Materials for Sustainable Pavement Construction

This book provides an overview of the use of various waste materials in pavement construction and their potential impact on sustainable infrastructure development. It explores the use of waste materials as alternatives to traditional pavement materials like asphalt and concrete. It discusses the properties and performance of various waste materials and their applications in pavement construction, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower construction costs, and enhanced durability and longevity of pavements.

Features:

Explores the use of waste materials such as recycled plastics, rubber, glass, and other industrial by-products as alternatives to traditional pavement materials. Provides detailed guidance on the selection, design, and implementation of waste materials. Focuses on the practical application of waste materials in pavement construction. Reviews bio-oils and focuses on plastics from different sources. Includes case studies on waste materials used in pavement structure.

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in pavement and civil engineering.
