Sustainable Pavement Materials and Rheological Performance (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book takes a clear and practical look at how sustainable materials and rheological concepts are influencing the way modern asphalt pavements are designed and evaluated. It brings together circular-economy thinking, the use of recycled and waste-derived materials, and advanced binder characterisation using Dynamic Shear Rheology (DSR). The chapters discuss a range of emerging, environmentally friendly solutions, including the reuse of construction and demolition waste, the stormwater and pollution-reduction benefits of pervious pavements, and the rheological performance of asphalt binders modified with recycled LDPE, crumb rubber, fly ash mastics, and lignosulfonate-based biomaterials. By connecting laboratory testing with mechanistic performance indicators and real-world engineering practice, the book offers a practical and integrated guide to designing more sustainable pavement materials. It is written for researchers, graduate students, consultants, transport agencies, and policy makers who are working toward more environmentally responsible and high-performing road infrastructure.
