Sustainable Construction Materials and Pavement Engineering

Britannia Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, UK

The School of the Built Environment at Liverpool John Moores University in association with Tarmac Ltd and RSTA is hosting the 10th Annual International Conference addressing research and practical applications using sustainable construction materials and technology in asphalt, pavement engineering and highways maintenance. The conference is a continuation of the successful annual events hosted by LJMU since 2002 that have attracted large number of speakers from the industry and academia, delegates and exhibitors from the UK, Europe, Middle East, USA, South America, Australia and the Far East.  It is aimed at stakeholders with specific interest in the development and management of sustainable infra-structure, environmental protection, energy reduction, developments in concrete and asphalt pavement technology, road maintenance and aggregate recycling initiatives.

Sustainable Construction Materials and Pavement Engineering Programme

PAPERS are invited on topics that address sustainable road, highways and airport pavements, procurement, design, evaluations, developments in bitumen, asphaltic and concrete pavements, road base materials,  road/highways/airport maintenance, waste and recycled aggregates, carbon impact and road surface treatments. Papers should address innovation and wherever possible, the application of new materials and/or techniques. Papers describing work in progress should discuss the short and long-term practical implications of the research being undertaken. Contributions are especially welcomed from clients, specifiers, regulators, local authorities, consultants, contractors, materials suppliers, research and educational organisations/institutions.
The conference will provide a unique setting within which to share and explore new ideas and to review innovations in the practical application of using sustainable construction materials and techniques in pavement engineering and highways maintenance. It will consider materials technology, manufacturing techniques and end product characteristics that satisfy ever more demanding design, structural and environmental requirements for development.
