“…A new line of research is now being explored around C&DW, as this is one of the major sources of ceramic‐based waste: 35 million tons were generated in Spain an amount that accounted for a mere 7% of the European total . New applications must therefore be sought for these potential pozzolans, applied to date only for drainage or as bases or fillers in roads or as recycled aggregate in eco‐efficient concrete …”

Depending on its composition and properties, construction and demolition waste (C&DW) may be used today as recycled aggregate to manufacture more eco‐efficient concrete, for drainage or as a sub‐base in roads and on occasion as a decorative or esthetic element in pedestrian pathways in parks and landscaped grounds. In Spain, 54% of C&DW is ceramic‐based (CB‐C&DW). Since the use of such waste as recycled aggregate is not envisaged in Spanish legislation, it is presently stockpiled in landfills, an environmentally, technically, and economically detrimental procedure. The CB‐C&DW recycled at 12 Spanish waste management plants was assessed to determine the feasibility of its use as an alternative to pozzolans such as silica fume and fly ash presently added to cement during manufacture. The proportion of ceramic‐based material contained in this recycled waste varied from plant to plant. The effect of the ceramic‐based material content on the chemical and mineralogical composition, morphology, and pozzolanic activity of CB‐C&DW was explored in a more exhaustive study of two types of waste, one with 20 and the other with 100% ceramic‐based material content. In light of its chemical and mineralogical composition, morphology and lime fixation capacity, this type of C&DW was found to be apt for use as a pozzolan, and hence as a valid alternative for manufacturing more eco‐efficient cements.

“…In addition, the impermeable pavement surface contributes to the formation of water films, or accumulation of water, on the pavement surface [16], which leads to vehicle drifting and water splash, thus causing traffic accidents [17,18]. Moreover, traditional impermeable pavement surfaces can cause an abrupt rise in surface runoff in the event of storms, resulting in urban inundation [19,20]. For these reasons, permeable pavement materials have attracted wide interest.…”

Extensive studies on traditional and novel engineering materials and the increasing 8 demands by growing traffic have led to tremendous changes of the function of roads. Roads, as an 9 important part of the human living environment, have evolved from structures that were designed and built for passing vehicles, to ecological assets with significant economic importance. In addition to structural stability and durability, functions such as noise reduction, urban heat island mitigation, de-icing and exhaust gas absorption, are also expected. This study focused on state-of-the-art research on the performance, applications and challenges of six environment-friendly functional road materials, namely the permeable asphalt concrete, noise-reducing pavement materials, low heat-absorbing pavement materials, exhaust gas-decomposing pavement materials, de-icing pavement materials, and energy harvesting pavement materials. With this study, we aim to provide references to the latest relevant literatures of the design and development of environment-friendly functional pavement, and promote innovation in materials science and pavement design principles. For this purpose, this review compiled extensive knowledge in modern road construction and related disciplines, in order to promote the development of modern pavement engineering technologies.

This paper presents a technological review of permeable pavement systems (PPS) for applications in urban areas of small island developing states (SIDS). This review includes a literature survey of PPS, challenges and opportunities of climate change and urban development in SIDS and key aspects worth considering for widespread acceptance and use of PPS in SIDS. SIDS comprise of several nations located across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Caribbean, Mediterranean and South China seas. They are particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change and increasing urbanisation. Urban stormwater management and flooding are often serious challenges faced by authorities in most SIDS. PPS are resilient infrastructure which can assist in mitigating flooding by reducing runoff and peak flows and improving the landscape perviousness. PPS can further improve stormwater runoff quality to receiving natural waters by reducing pollutant loadings of suspended solids, heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Unlike most territorial states, the geographical and geologically confined nature of most SIDS present unique parameters for consideration when designing permeable pavements for SIDS. This literature survey found that some of the most important parameters include traffic loads, cost, construction aggregate choice and availability, permeability of existing soil at the intended location, depth of water table, potential for groundwater contamination, slope of the pavement, stormwater reuse option, clogging, maintenance and support from policy makers. Continued practical research into the use of permeable pavements for urban runoff management in SIDS is ongoing with the expectation of PPS being utilised in many SIDS.
