Overview
About the project
Road pavements are the one of the most natural resource-consuming infrastructures. Typically, the construction of 1 km of a typical 4-lane road highway requires around 36,000 tonnes of stones and sand which are derived from cutting mountains and mining rivers. Current methods of utilising natural resources for road infrastructure is not a sustainable practice, leading to several socio-economic-environmental challenges. Much research on the use of outdated road materials for new road construction have been carried out. However, they were fragmented attempts and there is still no framework for assessing and guiding the extraction and utilisation of recycled materials for future road infrastructure.
The An Effective Framework for Extraction and Utilisation of Recycled Materials in Road Infrastructure project is offered at Deakin University.
Programme Structure
- experimental phase consisting of understanding the issues with recycled road materials and their addressal by developing cost-effective and sustainable techniques
- semi-experimental phase wherein the positive and negative effect of the recycle materials on the strength and durability performance of road/pavement layers will be understood through laboratory experiments followed by numerical simulations for in-situ loading condition assessment
- theoretical phase to develop frameworks for effective utilisation of road wastes
