Abstract

Scope: Preface Recently significant emphasize have been given to explore sustainable solutions for construction of asphalt pavements. The utilization of recycled mix, warm mix technology, and innovative pavement design, performance evaluation methods have been reported by many researchers. This Geotechnical Special Publication (GSP) contains 30 papers that were presented at the GeoChina 2016 International Conference on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures: Innovative Technologies for Severe Weathers and Climate Changes, held in Shandong, China on July 25-27, 2016. Major topics covered are: Recycling of asphalt pavements; Pavement design, modeling, performance evaluation & management; Sustainable long life pavements; Warm mix asphalt. The overall theme of the GSP is innovative and sustainable solutions in asphalt pavements, where the presented papers address different research issues and findings of this theme. This publication provides a good and timely overview of recent trends and the newest aspects of the key research areas related to asphalt pavements. It provides an effective means of sharing recent technological advancements, engineering applications and research results among scientists, researchers and engineering practitioners.
