This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of asphalt pavement technology, as
presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the
5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment
(ISAP 2019 APE Symposium), held in Padua, Italy on September 11-13,
2019. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning materials and
technologies for asphalt pavements, designed for sustainability and
environmental compatibility: sustainable pavement materials,
marginal materials for asphalt pavements, pavement structures,
testing methods and performance, maintenance and management
methods, urban heat island mitigation, energy harvesting, and Life
Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means
of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth
of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and
foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.

This book presents the detailed results of five task groups of the
RILEM technical committee TC 237-SIB on Testing and
Characterization of Sustainable Innovative Bituminous Materials and
Systems. It concentrates on specific new topics in asphalt binder
and mixture testing, dealing with new developments in asphalt
testing, in particular also in view of new innovative bituminous
materials, such as hot and cold recycled mixtures, grid reinforced
pavements and recycled Reclaimed Asphalt Pavements (RAP), where
test methods developed for traditional asphalt concrete are not a
priori applicable. The main objective is providing a basis for
pre-standardization by comparing different test methods and showing
ways for fundamental improvements. Thus, the book also points the
way for a further advanced chemo-physical understanding of
materials and their role in pavement systems relying on fundamental
material properties and suitable models for describing and
predicting the intrinsic mechanisms that determine the material
behavior.
Premature cracking in asphalt pavements and overlays continues to
shorten pavement lifecycles and creates significant economic and
environmental burden. In response, RILEM Technical Committee TC
241-MCD on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Asphalt and
Composite Pavements has conducted a State-of-the-Art Review (STAR),
as detailed in this comprehensive book. Cutting-edge research
performed by RILEM members and their international partners is
presented, along with summaries of open research questions and
recommendations for future research. This book is organized
according to the theme areas of TC 241-MCD - i.e., fracture in the
asphalt bulk material, interface debonding behaviour, and advanced
measurement systems. This STAR is expected to serve as a long term
reference for researchers and practitioners, as it contributes to a
deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms behind cracking
and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite pavement systems.

This book presents the latest advances in research to analyze
mechanical damage and its detection in multilayer systems. The
contents are linked to the Rilem TC241 - MCD scientific activities
and the proceedings of the 8th RILEM International Conference on
Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements (MCD2016).
MCD2016 was hosted by Ifsttar and took place in Nantes, France, on
June 7-9, 2016. In their lifetime, pavements undergo degradation
due to different mechanisms of which cracking is among the most
important ones. The damage and the fracture behavior of all its
material layers as well as interfaces must be understood. In that
field, the research activities aims to develop a deeper fundamental
understanding of the mechanisms responsible for cracking and
debonding in asphalt concrete and composite (e.g. asphalt overlays
placed on PCC or thin cement concrete overlay placed on asphalt
layer) pavement systems.

This volume includes a unique group of chapters focusing on new
advances in materials for infrastructure sustainability. Chapters
have been well-organized and handled by a group of international
experts in order to discuss a timely topic with regards to the
sustainable infrastructures. This volume is part of the proceedings
of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on
Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.

This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in bituminous materials and structures and asphalt
pavement technology, as presented by leading international
researchers and engineers at the RILEM International Symposium on
Bituminous Materials (ISBM), held in Lyon, France on December
14-16, 2020. The symposium represents a joint effort of three RILEM
Technical Committees from Cluster F: 264-RAP "Asphalt Pavement
Recycling", 272-PIM "Phase and Interphase Behaviour of Bituminous
Materials", and 278-CHA "Crack-Healing of Asphalt Pavement
Materials". It covers a diverse range of topics concerning
bituminous materials (bitumen, mastics, mixtures) and road, railway
and airport pavement structures, including: recycling, phase and
interphase behaviour, cracking and healing, modification and
innovative materials, durability and environmental aspects, testing
and modelling, multi-scale properties, surface characteristics,
structure performance, modelling and design, non-destructive
testing, back-analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment. The
contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous
international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting
ideas that will open novel research directions and foster new
multidisciplinary collaborations.
