Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Encompassing economic, environmental, and social aspects, pavement sustainability has become one of the topmost priorities for transportation professionals and policymakers in the United States and across the globe to overcome the challenges of the 21st century. This Special Issue of the journal aims to document processes and practices in the selection and fabrication of novel materials; the use of cutting-edge technologies; and design, construction, and maintenance methods for building durable pavement infrastructures and meeting sustainability goals. In particular, articles presented in this Issue will focus on the challenges and advances in the recycling of waste; processing and characterizing high-performance alternative materials; and adopting green design, construction, and maintenance techniques that are useful to practicing engineers and others. Implementable techniques and tools for building and maintaining longer-lasting flexible and rigid pavements will be encouraged. Materials presented in these articles will originate from, but will not be limited to, computer modeling, laboratory observations, field evaluations, and case studies. The primary audience of this Issue will be pavement researchers, professionals, and practitioners around the world.
