Sustainability Assessment on a Case Study of Using In Situ Cold Recycling Materials in Road Maintenance

Abstract:

The case ‘Using in situ cold recycling for carriageways in an urban environment within the North of Essex’ was chosen as a sustainability assessment example in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to assess the sustainability of the case above, to specific its impacts on environmental, economic and social aspects, and obtain a result of the assessment. Firstly the background of the case will be introduced, and the impacts and assessment will then be discussed. The result of the assessment will also be presented in the final part.
