Special Issue “The Use of Recycled Materials to Promote Pavement Sustainability Performance”

Toughness Performance of Recycled Aggregates for use in Road Pavement

The policy of driving organization such as Highways Agency is towards the use of performance related specifications. This policy and adoption of European wide aggregate standards on the one hand, and sustainable construction pressures on the other, all strongly emphasize on further need for more developments to specifications and performance assessment methodologies inst...

Onsite Use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement Materials and Geocells to Reconstruct Pavements Damaged by Heavy Trucks

Special Issue: Sustainability

The purpose of this paper is to examine issues around liable entity determination for greenhouse gas emissions have risen to dominance since the anticipated introduction of a carbon price in Australia. This paper seeks to explore the views of industry pertaining to the use of operational control as the sole boundary setting approach for carbon liability determination under current mandated Nati...

Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...

Introduction to Special Issue Extending the Findings on the Environmental Performance of Wood Building Materials

This compendium provides extensions to the research first reported in the December 2005 Wood and Fiber Science Special Issue (WFS 2005) devoted to CORRIM’s Reports on Environmental Performance of Wood Building Materials. The Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (CORRIM) is a nonprofit research consortium made up of 15 research institutions dedicated to developing comprehens...
