Advances in Materials and Recycling Technologies for Sustainable Road Pavements

Dear Colleagues,

Recycling applied to asphalt pavement is extremely topical and is gaining even more interest because of growing attention about environmental preservation and sustainability.

In fact, recycling implies tangible benefits connected to the saving of natural resources and the reduction in wastes disposal; it also allows a secondary life to by-products, thus limiting the costs associated with the construction.

Recycling on road pavements, in particular within asphalt concretes, is a well-known practice that has already been debated for decades; however, this area still requires further scientific study in view of the new challenges brought by the recent technological applications on roads and linked to related in-service issues (traffic increase, heavier vehicles, climate changes, etc.).

The aim of this Special Issue is to present an analysis of innovative recycling techniques and materials to design and construct sustainable road pavements.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Construction Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
