The next-generation of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) decision-making
needs to weigh multiple strategic goals to achieve sustainable development through the …

Motivated by the lack of a systematic analysis of the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) to
estimate the environmental impacts of roads, this study conducts a critical review to examine …

Phase change materials are functional materials that have the potential to cool asphalt
pavement. This study focuses on the design of a stearic acid/palmitic acid binary eutectic …

Flexible pavements and climate are interactive. Pavements are climate sensitive
infrastructure, where climate can impact their deterioration rate, subsequent maintenance …

A significant share of federal and regional infrastructure budgets is spent on constructing,
maintaining, repairing, and replacing road infrastructure. Due to its magnitude, sustainable …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) studies are frequently used to evaluate the environmental
burdens of pavement facilities. This information can be used by decision-makers to advise …

The carbon dioxide emissions generated during the life of flexible asphalt pavements are an
important indicator of the sustainability of these infrastructures. The study aims at tentatively …

Carbon dioxide emissions mitigation from road construction activities is one of potential
pathways to deal with climate change. Aiming to estimate the magnitude of carbon dioxide …

For the $100 billion per year road construction industry, effective sustainability management
is hampered because there are few established data-driven sustainability benchmarks with …
