Network-Level Structural Condition Data for Sustainable Pavement Asset Management
Pavement management systems (PMS) are critical tools that agencies use to optimize maintenance and rehabilitation (MandR) decisions. Traditionally, PMS frameworks rely primarily on surface condition indicators such as cracking, rutting, and roughness to trigger treatments and allocate resources. …

Sustainable pavement applications utilizing quarry by-products and recycled/nontraditional aggregate materials
… with quarry operations. With recent focus on sustainable construction practices and the scarcity of natural resources, more common and sustainable uses of by-product materials such as QB are becoming imperative. This dissertation focuses on the introduction and evaluation of new sustainable …

Applying Pavement Life Cycle Assessment Results to Enhance Sustainable Pavement Management Decision Making
Sustainable pavement management implies maintaining acceptable condition of pavements while also considering the tradeoff between cost, environmental impacts and social impacts of pavement investments. Typical pavement management practices only consider economic considerations, and environmental …

Sustainable Pavement Construction: Developing a methodology for integrating environmental impact into the decision making process
… policy on sustainability, nor a national sustainable transportation strategy. In many cases this has resulted in state DOTs basing their environmental practices on requirements set out previously by EPA regulations with little or no additional consideration of environmental effects. A …

Towards a robust life cycle assessment tool for sustainable pavement designs : quantifying context-specific impacts of pavement albedo
While guidance have been developed for pavement life cycle assessment (LCA) in recent decades, it has not been widely implemented for supporting environmentally conscious pavement designs, partially due to the limitations in sub-models for quantifying the use phase impacts, such as albedo. …

Pavement sustainability optimization using quarry by-products and geosynthetics
… construction and production of materials used in pavement construction. The increased aggregate demand by the construction industry has resulted in increased production of quarry by-products (QB) and overall energy consumption because of the production of aggregates. The use of geosynthetics and …

Development of the materials, construction, and maintenance phases of a life cycle assessment tool for pavements
… regionalized LCA tool, particularly for concrete pavements, focusing on the methodology of the construction and maintenance/rehabilitation phases with collaborative studies investigating the materials, use, and end-of-life phases. A tool verification study investigated the environmental impacts of …

Evaluation of Balanced Asphalt Surface Mixtures with Conventional and High RAP Contents Using Laboratory and Accelerated Pavement Testing
… including those with high reclaimed asphalt pavement (HRAP) contents, recycling agents (RAs), fibers, and polymer-modified binders. Laboratory performance tests are essential to the BMD process, as they ensure the production of durable, high-performance materials. Beyond laboratory …
