However, since the 1970s, the focus has been on more sustainable road construction materials such as recycled asphalt pavements. Recycling asphalt involves removing old asphalt and mixing it with new (fresh) aggregates, binders, and/or rejuvenators. Similarly, there are various efforts to use alternative modifiers and technical solutions such as crumb rubber, plastics, or various types of fibres. For the past two decades, researchers have been developing novel materials and technologies, such as self-healing materials, in order to improve road design, construction, and maintenance efficiency and reduce the financial and environmental burden of road construction. This Special Issue on "Advances in Asphalt Pavement Technologies and Practices" curates advanced/novel work on asphalt pavement design, construction, and maintenance. The Special Issue comprises 19 papers describing unique works that address the current challenges that the asphalt industry and road owners face. 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aAsphalt cement 606 $aTechnological innovations 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 0$aAsphalt cement. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 676 $a625.85 700 $aTabakovic$b Amir$01369500 702 $aHe$b Liang 702 $aValentin$b Jan 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910674015103321 996 $aAdvances in Asphalt Pavement Technologies and Practices$93395697 997 $aUNINA
