PAVING MATERIALS – Technology development

• Incorporation of tyre rubber in asphalt mixtures
• Bio-Binders for road paving
• Hot and Cold recycling of asphalt mixtures
• Advanced rheological characterisation of complex paving materials (DSRs and AMPT)
• Performance-related design and characterisation of asphalt mixtures
• Eco design supported by Sustainability Assessment (LCA, LCC, S-LCA)

ROAD PAVEMENT – Construction, Quality control, asset management

• Material design tailored for improved pavement monitoring
• Advanced use of embedded sensors for structural health monitoring of road pavement
• Life cycle management of road pavement with multi-criteria decision making
• Continuous contacts with local road authorities, asphalt contractors and recycling facilities
