Book Description
[Italiano]: La SIIV Arena è uno spazio di confronto nel quale dottorandi e giovani studiosi delle diverse sedi accademiche illustrano le loro ricerche su temi di specifico interesse per il Settore Scientifico Disciplinare ICAR/04 “Strade, Ferrovie e Aeroporti”. Questo volume raccoglie gli atti della 7a SIIV Arena, tenutasi a Napoli il 9 settembre 2022, e svoltasi nell’ambito della XVIII International SIIV Summer School: “Sustainable Pavements and Road Materials”. Il ricorso a tecnologie di costruzione e manutenzione basate su principi di sostenibilità, resilienza ed economia circolare, sono di riferimento, in sinergia con l’utilizzo di materie prime seconde, per il raggiungimento di adeguate performance meccaniche per il corpo stradale, a ridotto impatto ambientale e costi. Il gradiente di crescita registrato nell’ambito delle infrastrutture civili ha definito un incessante ricorso all’utilizzo di risorse naturali con conseguenti effetti negativi in termini di sostenibilità ambientale. Il reimpiego di rifiuti nei processi di mix design e il ricorso all’uso di sistemi di lavorazione in situ e/o tecnologie a “bassa energia” (i.e. conglomerati bituminosi a freddo e/o tiepidi) accolgono in pieno gli obiettivi alla base dei principi dell’economia circolare. Tale volume si propone di raccogliere le ricerche più innovative nel settore presentate nell’ambito della 7a SIIV Arena analizzando aspetti relativi alla progettazione, costruzione e manutenzione nel suo complesso delle pavimentazioni e corpo stradale./[English]: The SIIV Arena is a space for discussion in which PhD students and young scholars from various universities illustrate their research on topics of specific interest for the Scientific Disciplinary Sector ICAR/04 “Roads, Railways and Airports”. This volume collects the proceedings of the 7th SIIV Arena, held in Naples on 9 September 2022, and held as part of the XVIII International SIIV Summer School: "Sustainable Pavements and Road Materials". The use of construction and maintenance technologies based on principles of sustainability, resilience and circular economy, are a reference, in synergy with the use of secondary raw materials, for achieving adequate mechanical performance for the road structure, with a reduced environmental impact. and costs. The growth gradient recorded in the field of civil infrastructures has defined an incessant use of natural resources with consequent negative effects in terms of environmental sustainability. The reuse of waste in mix design processes and the use of in situ processing systems and/or "low energy" technologies (i.e., cold and/or warm asphalt mixtures) fully meet the objectives underlying the principles of the circular economy. This volume aims to collect the most innovative research in the sector presented in the context of the 7th SIIV Arena by analyzing aspects relating to the design, construction and maintenance of the pavement and road infrastructure as a whole.
