Abstract Roadways provide safe and efficient transport and are essential to the function of societies and economies. However, climate change increasingly pushes pavements beyond their engineering limits, leading to deterioration. In this Review, we explore the impacts of climate change on roadways and approaches to mitigate them. Roadways are vulnerable to changes in temperature, precipitation and sea level rise driven by climate change.

Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract Stockpiling a cold central plant recycled (CCPR) asphalt mixture may be beneficial to a producer as it allows them to optimize paving and material production. However, no previous studies have been found in the literature, and it is unclear if stockpiling a CCPR mixture has any positive or negative effect on the strength properties of the CCPR mixture.

The benefits of using asphalt overlays for rehabilitation of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements are grounded in economics and long-term performance. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reports that the United States has 108,603 lane miles of composite pavements (PCC overlaid with asphalt), which is nearly double the lane miles of PCC-surfaced pavements. This means that nearly two-thirds of the concrete pavements in the United States have been overlaid with asphalt.
