Compare Eco-efficient Pavement Construction Materials by F. Pacheco-Torgal, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Eco-efficient Pavement Construction Materialsacquaints engineers with research findings on new eco-efficient pavement materials and how they can be incorporated into future pavements. Divided into three distinctive parts, the book emphasizes current research topics such as pavements with recycled waste, pavements for climate change mitigation, self-healing pavements, and pavements with energy harvesting potential. Part One considers techniques for recycling, Part Two reviews the contribution of pavements for climate change mitigation, including cool pavements, the development of new coatings for high albedo targets, and the design of pervious pavements. Finally, Part Three focuses on self-healing pavements, addressing novel materials and design and performance. Finally, the book discusses the case of pavements with energy harvesting potential, addressing different technologies on this field. Offers a clear and concise lifecycle assessment of asphalt pavement recycling for greenhouse gas emission with temporal aspectsApplies key research trends to green the pavement industryIncludes techniques for recycling waste materials, the design of cool pavements, self-healing mechanisms, and key steps in energy harvesting | Eco-efficient Pavement Construction Materials by F.
