Abstract

With the development of economic, social and transport, developing new pavement materials and techniques for energy-saving and environmental-protection is a trend in road traffic field. In recent years, several new materials and techniques such as Recycled asphalt pavements (RAP), Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt (CRMA) mixture and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) appear in road engineering. In this paper, their environmental and ecological effects are analyzed individually. Comprehensive utilization methods of waste materials are discussed for a better environment protection.
