Bio-Based and Bio-Inspired Pavement Construction Materials

Discover a forward-thinking reference for sustainable infrastructure with Bio-Based and Bio-Inspired Pavement Construction Materials by Elham H. Fini and Pouria Hajikarimi. This authoritative volume bridges cutting-edge science and practical design, presenting bio-based binders, fiber reinforcements, and nature-inspired surface systems that redefine pavement performance.

Gain insight into how bio-derived polymers, waste-derived additives, and biomimetic textures improve durability, reduce carbon footprints, and enhance urban resilience. Clear explanations of material properties, laboratory testing, and field-scale trials make complex concepts accessible to civil engineers, pavement designers, transportation planners, and sustainability professionals. Case studies span cold-climate frost-resistant mixes, high-temperature rutting solutions, and coastal applications that resist salt and moisture — making the content relevant across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and beyond.

Practical design guidance and lifecycle assessments help readers evaluate cost, maintenance, and environmental trade-offs. The book also explores policy implications, specification strategies, and pathways to scale bio-based pavements in municipal, highway, and airport projects. Technical graphics, comparative performance data, and step-by-step mix design examples equip practitioners to adopt greener alternatives confidently.

Whether you’re researching sustainable materials, updating specifications for urban streets, or pursuing low-carbon infrastructure goals, this book delivers actionable knowledge and real-world solutions. Add Bio-Based and Bio-Inspired Pavement Construction Materials to your professional library and lead the transition to resilient, eco-friendly pavements that perform — today and for future generations.
