The planning of the South Central Superpave Center (SCSC) began in mid-1994. The Center hired its first staff in early 1995 and was fully staffed by June 1995, at which point it became fully operational. This report describes SCSC activities that took place between June 1995 (when it first became operational) and the end of August 1998.
This is the summary report for Research Project 0-1250, "The South Central Superpave Center." Initiated and sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, the Superpave Center fostered the implementation of the Superpave system within state highway agencies and the asphalt construction industry. Other regional states also participated in partial support of the Center. The 5-year project started in September 1994 and ended in August 1999. This report summarizes Center activities undertaken over the 5-year period.
This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment (ISAP 2019 APE Symposium), held in Padua, Italy on September 11-13, 2019. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning materials and technologies for asphalt pavements, designed for sustainability and environmental compatibility: sustainable pavement materials, marginal materials for asphalt pavements, pavement structures, testing methods and performance, maintenance and management methods, urban heat island mitigation, energy harvesting, and Life Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
