Cold Bituminous Mix: A Sustainable Pavement Construction Technology
Keywords:
Cold Bituminous Mix, Industrial Waste, Carbon Footprint, SustainabilityAbstract
Road agencies and pavement researchers have been trying to achieve sustainable pavement construction in recent years. Transportation professionals must incorporate green concepts into planning, design, construction, and operation as a result of growing public awareness regarding climate change. Cold bituminous mix (CBM) offers various advantages compared to hot mix asphalt (HMA) in terms of safety by the absence of heating in production and application, the efficiency of fuel, non-emission of greenhouse gasses, and ease of laying the paving mix in any climatic conditions, it has received a little attention and is thought to perform less than hot bituminous mix. Research and field applications of CBM have also been partially demonstrated. However, in consideration of environmental constraints, attention should be placed on the growth of sustainability in the construction of pavements, such as cold bituminous mix technology. This can include the use of naturally mined resources and reducing the influence on the environment of pavement industries as well as their carbon footprint. The major factors of several studies on CBM have been altered by the addition of active filler, chemicals, fibres, and various waste materials from various industries to increase the performance of CBM and make it correspond to HMA performance. The present study also discusses the benefits, challenges, and elements that support effective CBM applications, as well as future potential areas for CBM applications in pavement research.
