Research Progress on the Utilization of Solid Waste in Asphalt and Asphalt Mixtures

In the field of sustainable civil engineering, the application of solid waste in asphalt and asphalt mixture has become an important research direction. Industrial wastes such as rubber, plastic, red mud, coal gangue and steel slag can be recycled as modifiers to optimize asphalt performance, improve the road performance of the mixture, reduce production costs, and have both economic and social benefits. At present, domestic and foreign scholars have done a lot of research on solid waste modified asphalt and asphalt mixture, and achieved some results. It has important application value and broad development prospects in the engineering field, and has positive significance for environmental protection, sustainable development and urbanization. Although the existing research in this book lacks some unique data and novel insights, it systematically summarizes the latest progress and provides a valuable reference for scholars who are not familiar with this field.
