Pavement Sustainability Frontiers: From Materials to Maintenance
Pavement Sustainability Frontiers: From Materials to Maintenance aims to provide a collaborative platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange knowledge and showcase advances shaping the future of sustainable pavement infrastructure. The symposium is built around four core themesâResilient & Green Geotechnics, Eco-Efficient Asphalt Technologies, Sustainable Rigid Pavement Systems, and Resilient Roads: Evaluation & Maintenanceâeach reflecting the growing need for innovation across the pavement lifecycle. These themes highlight progress in eco-friendly materials, performance-driven design, energy-efficient construction practices, and smart, data-enabled maintenance strategies. Together, they emphasize the vision of developing resilient, low-carbon, and resource-efficient pavement systems that support long-term sustainability and improved infrastructure performance.
