Abstract:
Concrete pavement sustainability can be accomplished by following the principles listed in the article. Each principle should be applied in terms of its interdependency with, and/or potential competition with, the other principles by using already available practical tools. However, there are still areas in pavement sustainability that need to be addressed or improved, including life-cycle systems to analyze economic, environmental, and social factors, and sustainable pavement rating systems.
