About This Topic
This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in sustainable and low-carbon asphalt materials, which have gained significant attention in the industry and community. The issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest findings and share their experiences on the development, testing, and implementation of sustainable and low-carbon asphalt materials. Asphalt is a widely used material in road construction, but its production and use have significant environmental impacts. The need for sustainable and low-carbon asphalt materials has emerged as a result of the urgent need to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
The contributions to this special issue encompass a broad spectrum of topics, including the utilization of recycled and reclaimed materials, exploration of alternative binders, aggregates, and mixtures, innovative technologies in asphalt production, long-term performance evaluation, environmental assessment, and advancements in enhancing durability and resilience of asphalt materials and pavements. The goal is to promote the adoption of sustainable and low-carbon asphalt materials and encourage the development of new and innovative solutions to pave the way towards a more sustainable future.
Keywords
Sustainability, recycling, alternatives to conventional asphalt, aggregates, and mixtures, low-carbon asphalt materials
