Asphalt concrete (AC) pavement sustainability can be achieved by enhancing mixture durability, improving construction practices, optimizing pavement design, and maximizing the use of recycled resources to reduce life-cycle investments.
The concrete construction industry is continued to put a greater emphasis on adopting more sustainable practices.
