Green Asphalt Pavements (EMPave-GAP)
The research focus area "Green Asphalt Pavements" uses a multi scale method to characterize environmentally friendly road materials. The goal is to further the fundamental understandig of:
- road materials behavior with respect to environmental effects such as water and temperature
- interaction of bitumen with other substances, in particular with minerals
- targeted development of modern road materials
Research and Development
- Sustainable fully recycled asphalt concrete
- FIBRA - Fostering the implementation of fibre reinforced asphalt mixtures by ensuring its safe, optimized and cost efficient use
- Optimal recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (ORRAP)
- High performance aggregates for sustainable road pavements
- Bitumen based intrinsically icephobic road surfaces
- Innovative manufacturing of crumb rubber modified asphalt concrete
