Recycled airport pavements for achieving environmental sustainability: An Italian case study

Resources, Conservation & Recycling, 2012, vol. 68, issue C, 67-75

Abstract: Both the design and the construction of airfield pavements have to be consistent with strict requirements and constraints and also higher safety standards due to their particular setting. In addition, maintenance and construction times must be minimized in order to avoid delays and limitations on airport capacity. Maintaining or constructing airfield pavements also entails working during all-weather conditions (e.g. winter time and heavy cold conditions); materials adopted therefore play a major role in the success of the maintenance or construction activity.
