INTRODUCTION
For a long time, the durability and recycling of road materials have been important issues in the road infrastructure industry. However, future development requires greater progress in resource utilization efficiency and the highest value application of recycled materials. In many developed countries, infrastructure asset management is increasingly focused on maintenance rather than new construction, leading to significant changes in the optimization of material resources. This report will introduce a comprehensive method aimed at enhancing road durability and achieving maximum material recycling in the road infrastructure field. The report will focus on material-based key engineering solutions, aiming to get rid of fragmented practices, achieve a unified framework, meet the goals of all stakeholders, and address multid isc iplinary challenges. The main contents of the report include advanced material characterization and road material modification to extend the service life of roads, maxim ization of asphalt recycling and regeneration, and implementation of circular economy in road infrastructure.
