Use of Waste Materials for Sustainable Pavement Industry in Australia: A Review
Free-to-read version at publisher website
Description
The demand for fresh materials for the construction and maintenance of pavements is increasing daily with the rapid development of infrastructures. The continuous extraction of natural resources to meet this demand causes environmental, social, and economic dissatisfaction. Recycled materials are the best alternative to replace fresh pavement materials, conversely, to align with the sustainability of the pavement industry. Crumb rubber, reclaimed asphalt pavement, recycled concrete aggregates, crushed bricks, and glass, fly ash, and recycled plastics are viable recycled materials. A progressive trend toward recycled materials is recorded worldwide. However, it needs continuous enforcement to standardize specific criteria to retain a steady demand for their applications in every part of the world. Australia has made significant strides in utilizing recycled materials in the pavement industry under various circumstances. This paper presents an overview of recycled materials, their properties and applications in different layers of flexible pavements in Australia.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
