Bio-Based and Bio-Inspired Pavement Construction Materials

Bio-Based and Bio-Inspired Pavement Construction Materials explores the role of materials in carbon management, performance enhancement, and supply chain management in pavement construction. It presents various production techniques, experimental characterization methods, applications, numerical modeling, and simulation approaches for bio-based and bio-inspired pavement construction materials. The book demonstrates how bio-based and bio-inspired materials can be used in pavements to solve problems related to sustainability while simultaneously enhancing the mechanical properties of materials. Supply chain management, life-cycle analysis, and environmental assessment of using these materials are all covered in this volume as well.
