Materials and Infrastructures 2

The papers contained in this volume demonstrate how technological solutions and new design and management methodologies can be implemented in different surface transport modes (roads, railways and waterways) to increase transport sustainability by improving infrastructures design, maintenance, recyclability and management. Both theoretical research and practical case studies explore topics such as characterization of pavements, bridges and soils, use of recycled and warm mix asphalts as well as high-performance materials to increase durability or to reduce the noise impact. Sub-volume 2 contains parts 4–6. Part 4 addresses recycling and sustainability issues, presenting case studies and full-scale tests. Asphalt recycling is a core issue for reducing the carbon footprint of transportation infrastructure. Road administrations and designers will find a very interesting overview of three transnational research projects on this topic as well as a case study from Slovenia.
