This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The topic addressed in the book is very wide, and it is commendable that such a wide range of subtopics are actually covered in enough depth to make it worthwhile to read.....The approach of not only providing technical pavement information, but also relevant applicable regulatory, policy, planning and environmental information provides a good background of the topic to pavement engineers - again information that most of them would not necessarily have had access to without such a compilation of information.....Overall, I view the book as an essential addition to the literature on sustainability in pavements and trust that it will contribute to improved understanding and application of more sustainable practices in highway engineering." - Prof. Wynand JvdM Steyn, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa ************** The worldwide increase in emphasis on sustainability and the environment necessitates a holistic examination of how highways and pavements can be designed, constructed, operated, maintained, preserved and recycled in a more economically, environmentally, and socially sound manner. Rapidly depleting natural resources, anthropogenic climate change implications and increasing financial pressures are some crucial challenges today's and tomorrow's transportation engineers are faced with. A better understanding of the art and science of sustainable highway and pavement engineering will equip them to effect positive economic, environmental, and social change while balancing competing interests. Sustainable Highways, Pavements and Materials provides introductory and yet up-to-date coverage of latest technologies, practices and initiatives related to the contemporary application of sustainability principles during all phases of a pavement's life cycle. Researchers, practitioners, educators and students with an interest in transportation infrastructure will find this book a practical reference that explores various aspects of sustainable highways and pavements, including materials, design, construction, and life-cycle analysis. Important Topics Covered: -Sustainable Transportation Initiatives -Sustainability Impacts of Highways and Pavements -Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Pavements -Recycled Materials and Beneficial Reuse of Industrial By-Products -Long-Life, Permeable, Quiet and Cool Pavements -Green Highway Rating Systems -Emerging Sustainable Pavement Materials and Technologies

The intended audience includes decision makers and practitioners in both owner-agencies and supply, manufacturing, consulting, and contractor businesses. Readers will find individual chapters with the most recent technical information and best practices related to concrete pavement design, materials, construction, use/operations, renewal, and recycling. In addition, they will find chapters addressing issues specific to pavement sustainability in the urban environment and to the evaluation of pavement sustainability. Development of this guide satisfies a critical need identified in the Sustainability Track (Track 12) of the Long-Term Plan for Concrete Pavement Research and Technology (CP Road Map). The CP Road Map is a national research plan jointly developed by the concrete pavement stakeholder community, including Federal Highway Administration, academic institutions, state departments of transportation, and concrete pavement-related industries. It outlines 12 tracks of priority research needs related to concrete pavements. CP Road Map publications and other operations support services are provided by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University.

Book excerpt: This Tech Brief summarizes guidance to the pavement community on sustainability considerations for asphalt pavement systems, as presented in greater detail in the recently published Towards Sustainable Pavement Systems: A Reference Document (FHWA 2015b). Sustainability considerations throughout the entire pavement life cycle are examined (from material extraction and processing through the design, construction, use, maintenance/rehabilitation, and end-of-life phases) and the importance of recognizing context sensitivity and assessing trade-offs in developing sustainable solutions is emphasized. This Tech Brief focuses exclusively on sustainability considerations associated with asphalt-surfaced pavement structures and the materials used in their construction. For the purposes of this document, all permanent surfaces constructed with asphalt concrete are generically referred to as 'asphalt' pavements. The primary audience for this document is practitioners doing work within and for government transportation agencies, and it is intended for designers, maintenance, material and construction engineers, inspectors, and planners who are responsible for the design, construction and preservation of the nation's highway network.
