The book demonstrates how bio-based and bio-inspired materials can be used in pavements to solve problems related to sustainability while simultaneously enhancing the mechanical properties of asphalt and cementitious materials. Supply chain management, life cost cycle analysis, and environmental assessment of using these materials are all covered as well. Examples of these materials being used in real-life settings are included throughout.
- Outlines production methods, experimental characterization techniques, and numerical modeling and simulation approaches for bio-based and bio-inspired materials
- Discusses applications of these materials, supply chain management, lifecycle cost analysis, and environmental assessments
- Covers various sources of these materials, including animal wastes, woods, plants, and other natural resources
- Studies fabrication procedures such as thermochemical reactions
Researchers, academics, college students, and industry practitioner interested in sustainability, bio-economy, built environment, engineering, environmental science, resource conservation, and geology, The engineers who work in research and development departments of industries and companies can also use this book as a technical source to find experimental methods, numerical modeling methodologies for design purposes, and practical examples to interpret their experimental results related to using bio-based and bio-inspired materials in the pavements
