Mechanical Properties, CO2 Emissions, and Environmental Impact Assessment of Asphalt Pavement Maintenance Containing High-Content RAP Asphalt Pavements

Abstract The global surge in reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) generation presents significant sustainability challenges and opportunities for resource conservation in road infrastructure. This study evaluated the feasibility and environmental impact of plant-mixed hot recycling t...

Towards low-carbon deep soil mixing: a complementary review of supplementary cementitious and alkali-activated binders

Abstract Deep soil mixing (DSM) is a proven in situ ground improvement technique conventionally employing cement/lime as hydraulic binders. Escalating concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions and chemical durability of these materials have prompted the exploration of sustainab...

Baseline Response Characterization and Relative Vertical Displacement Reconstruction of Multi-Layer Asphalt Pavements Based on Quasi-Distributed FBG Monitoring Information

Internal responses of multilayer pavement structures are difficult to characterize using surface-based inspection alone. This study investigates a scaled multilayer pavement model instrumented with embedded quasi-distributed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing lines to obtain basel...
