Durable and Sustainable Road Constructions for Developing Countries

AbstractThis paper discusses the possibilities to build durable and sustainable pavement structures in developing countries. Attention will be paid to geometric design aspects which have a significant effect on pavement life. Following this attention will be paid to the importance of controlling wheel loads rather than axle loads. Also the importance of controlling tire pressures is discussed. The paper continues with a discussion on the importance of proper construction. Finally it is shown that re-use of construction demolition waste and hot recycling is very well possible and results in good quality materials which can be used to build durable and sustainable pavement structures
