“…), material heterogeneity (RAP Asphalt Content & Gradation) and other sources of variations caused RAP variability [23][24][25][26][27][28]. Despite this, it is noted that due to the use of a very high percentage of RAP, experiments demonstrate that the solutions proposed meet a number of sustainability requirements [29][30][31]. Furthermore, these facts illustrate the potential and suitability of the designed mixes for improved pavement life cycles [32][33][34][35].…”

The goal of this paper is to investigate transportation infrastructure sustainability from a wider standpoint.A sustainable transportation infrastructure can be defined as a safe, efficient, economic, environmentally friendly infrastructure meeting the needs of presentday users without compromising those of future generations. This concept involves environmental, economic and societal aspects.In more detail, as for a road, a sustainable infrastructure or pavement must comply with environmental, economic and social requirements.Unfortunately, even if a definition of a sustainable pavement for urban or suburban areas can be easily proposed, the proposal of practical strategies to really pursue sustainability goals is sometimes disregarded in favour of emphatic announces of not well defined sustainable solutions.In the light of the above facts, the sustainability of a transportation infrastructure based on the actual environmental, social and economic characteristics is discussed in this paper. Once the main factors which can influence infrastructure sustainability are assessed, an analysis is performed in order to set out practical strategies for pursuing the main objective.Finally an experimental investigation is designed and carried out in order to assess porous asphalt value in terms of pavement sustainability. The tests carried out are promising about the possibility of achieving suitable levels of overall performance. Practical applications and perspectives in rehabilitation, maintenance, and research are outlined.

“…Another crucial property is the particle size and shape of WPs. Plastic can be added to HMA in many shapes with varied sizes, such as powder (0.035-0.25 mm) [21,22], pellets (5-10 mm) [23], fibers (6.5-30 mm) [24][25][26], flakes (0.63-10 mm) [27][28][29][30], or granules (0.3-0.6 mm) [31,32]. WPs can also go through some processes for size reduction, such as shredding, grinding, crushing, and cutting [10,[33][34][35].…”

Although waste plastic (WP) application as a paving material has drawn increasing attention from scholars, there is a lack of studies that summarize the latest development of WP research. Considering there is no standard procedure to incorporate WPs in asphalt mixtures, it is important to document the major findings from the available literature to identify knowledge gaps to tackle in future research and advance knowledge on this subject. Using a bibliometric analysis method, this study carries out a holistic review of WP articles published from 2003 to 2023, focusing on incorporating WP in asphalt mixtures via the dry method. This study particularly focused on identifying and evaluating individual types of WP mostly used in asphalt mixtures via the dry method and how their most common characteristics (size, shape, and melting point) affect the mixing procedure and the overall mixture’s performance. The analysis highlighted China, the USA, and India as leading countries in WP-related publications. Typically, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most utilized WPs in the dry method. Smaller WP particle sizes (<2.36 mm) were considered more suitable in asphalt mixtures. In general, studies employing procedures involving WP melting, typically by introducing WP to pre-heated aggregates at temperatures surpassing its melting point, resulted in improved asphalt mixtures with enhanced resistance to rutting, cracking, and moisture damage. In this context, positive performance outcomes were notably observed in studies using HDPE or LDPE, potentially because of their low melting point. The key knowledge gaps identified were the lack of a consistent procedure applicable across studies, a feasibility assessment for scaling laboratory-based procedures to field applications, and laboratory evaluations utilizing advanced performance tests as suggested in the Balance Mix Design (BMD) approaches.

“…Also evolved in resistance to moisture damage occurred. Suresha et al [28] reported that the use of cellulose fiber gives positive outcomes appreciably, so it contributed to decreasing the drain down and Cantabro abrasion results. Also, the moisture susceptibility was improved, but it led to a decrease the permeability.…”
