Pavements are central to road, railway, and airport infrastructures. The relevance of pavements involves environmental, economical, technical, and safety aspects, especially, in the new vision of providing more sustainable infrastructures. Research on pavements is not limited to the efficient use of construction materials, as it was mostly in the past, but it is being developed following new multidisciplinary approaches that involve different areas of expertise. Therefore, considering that the pavements have always represented a key factor in design and construction, they can be configured as a very multidisciplinary component of our transport networks. To this effect, a collection of state-of-the-art theoretical, numerical, and experimental research could support advancements in this area and identify new avenues and areas of future development. This Special Issue will collect high-quality original research papers on recent developments in the area of pavements. Hence, papers with a focus on areas including, but not limited to, use of new technologies, approaches, or applications to infrastructure pavements with a new vision on pavement management, rehabilitation, and conservation, are encouraged. Review papers in the aforementioned research areas will also be considered.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Infrastructure domains (roads, railways, and airports); Research domains (theoretical, numerical, and experimental research): Application areas (design, rehabilitation, quality control, and management); Construction materials (bitumen, polymers, soil, and aggregates); Structure types (flexible, concrete, compound); Assessment methods (destructive, minor destructive, and non-destructive); Natural and anthropic environmental variables (extreme climate conditions, urbanization, and environmental landscape constraints).
