Book Climate Change Energy Sustainability and Pavements

Download or read book Climate Change Energy Sustainability and Pavements written by Kasthurirangan Gopalakrishnan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, energy production and consumption, and the need to improve the sustainability of all aspects of human activity are key inter-related issues for which solutions must be found and implemented quickly and efficiently. To be successfully implemented, solutions must recognize the rapidly changing socio-techno-political environment and multi-dimensional constraints presented by today’s interconnected world. As part of this global effort, considerations of climate change impacts, energy demands, and incorporation of sustainability concepts have increasing importance in the design, construction, and maintenance of highway and airport pavement systems. To prepare the human capacity to develop and implement these solutions, many educators, policy-makers and practitioners have stressed the paramount importance of formally incorporating sustainability concepts in the civil engineering curriculum to educate and train future civil engineers well-equipped to address our current and future sustainability challenges. This book will prove a valuable resource in the hands of researchers, educators and future engineering leaders, most of whom will be working in multidisciplinary environments to address a host of next-generation sustainable transportation infrastructure challenges. "This book proposes a broad detailed overview of the actual scientific knowledge about pavements linked to climate change, energy and sustainability at the international level in an original multidimensional/multi-effects way. By the end, the reader will be aware of the whole global issues to care about for various pavement technical features around the world, among which the implications of modelling including data collection, challenging resources saving and infrastructures services optimisation. This is a complete and varied work, rare in the domain." Dr. Agnes Jullien Research Director Director of Environmental, Development, Safety and Eco-Design Laboratory (EASE) Department of Development, Mobility and Environment Ifsttar Centre de Nantes Cedex- France “An excellent compilation of latest developments in the field of sustainable pavements. The chapter topics have been carefully chosen and are very well-organized with the intention of equipping the reader with the state-of-the-art knowledge on all aspects of pavement sustainability.

Book Summary and Recommendations of Recycled Materials in Roadside Safety Devices

Download or read book Summary and Recommendations of Recycled Materials in Roadside Safety Devices written by Roger P. Bligh and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the increased interest in the use of recycled materials such as plastics, rubber, paper, and glass, etc., the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sponsored project 0-1458, entitled "Recycled Materials in Roadside Safety Devices." The purpose of this project was to investigate and explore the use of recycled materials in roadside safety applications with the goal of product implementation. This report summarizes a three-phase research program intended to evaluate the use of recycled materials in roadside safety devices. In the first phase, information regarding recycled material manufacturers and their products was acquired through an extensive literature review and survey of research organizations, state and federal transportation agencies, professional and trade societies, and manufacturers. In the second phase of this project, products were further evaluated through a series of static and dynamic laboratory tests. The testing focused on the applications of Type III barricades, guardrail posts, guardrail offset blocks, and sign supports which were identified as areas with high potential that lacked suitable recycled alternatives. The products showed a wide range in behavior due to different material compositions. Phase III consisted of full-scale crash testing of selected products to validate laboratory results, verify their crashworthiness, and assist with the development of performance specifications. Three products were evaluated for use as temporary sign supports. Another product was evaluated for use as guardrail posts and offset blocks in strong post W-beam guardrail. Performance specifications were prepared for these applications and are included as appendices in the summary report

Book State DOT Environmental and Economic Benefits of Recycled Material Utilization in Highway Pavements

Download or read book State DOT Environmental and Economic Benefits of Recycled Material Utilization in Highway Pavements written by Kelly L. Del Ponte and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of recycled materials in highway construction has the potential to achieve significant benefits affecting the triple-bottom line (environment, prosperity and society). Although state departments of transportation (DOTs) have been in the forefront of introducing recycled materials infrastructure projects, it has been challenging to clearly convey the benefits in a quantitative and transparent manner using easily understood metrics. What is lacking is direct information on sustainability assessment characteristics, i.e. greenhouse gas emissions, energy and water consumption and waste generation. To determine the benefits of using recycled materials for DOTs, the Recycled Materials Resource Center (RMRC) conducted life cycle assessments (LCA) and cost analyses using recycled material quantities provided by six member state DOTs; Georgia (GDOT), Illinois (IDOT), Minnesota (MnDOT), Pennsylvania (PennDOT), Virginia (VDOT) and Wisconsin (WisDOT). PaLATE was used as the LCA analysis tool, after researching other publicly available tools to find an optimal analysis. Four environmental parameters (energy use, water consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and hazardous waste generation) showed percent reductions ranging between 70 and 99 percent when states used recycled industrial byproducts such as fly ash, and recycled roadway materials such as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). The cost analysis indicated potential savings of up to 17 million dollars. Any future research into sustainability assessment measurements should consider real time collection of the data, particularly in relation to virgin versus recycled material prices. Further case studies and developments using a material tracking tool developed by the RMRC and presented in this report can aide in determining project specific parameters, and therefore, more accurate future estimations of the economical and environmental of using recycled materials in highway pavements.
