This project will involve experts in road infrastructure and resource recycling from the Department of Engineering Structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. The Pavement Engineering section has extensive experience in advanced modelling and experimental characterization in the areas of material/pavement durability, low-noise surfaces, (epoxy-, rubber-, polymer-) modified pavements, (in-situ) rejuvenation technologies, and asphalt recycling. The Resources & Recycling section creates breakthroughs in recycling by applying fundamental science into innovative processes and implementing them in collaborations with industry to support the raw material supply of Europe by innovations and education in recycling technology.
