Creating Green Roadways: Integrating Cultural, Natural, and Visual Resources into Transportation

Product Information

By reducing the amount of time people spend in cars, we reduce air pollution and encourage a greater level of physical activity.

With over 6 million of the world’s best eBooks to choose from, Kobo offers you a whole world of reading. Although indicators in rating systems have been initiated to measure and promote the sustainability performance of roadway projects in some developed countries, applying those indicators to other regions/countries may still be difficult. The most people on a motorbike I have seen is six -- and I've seen that multiple times in India and all over Southeast Asia. When President Eisenhower signed the Interstate Highways and Defense Act in 1956, it was a significant moment in the history of the United States.

The system was constructed as part of the nation's strategic homeland defense, illustrating the important role of transportation in emergency mitigation, defense, and recovery. For green roadways in urban areas, streets should enhance mobility choices and complement and reinforce community character, livability, and sustainability.

Our green book for today is Creating Green Roadways: Integrating Cultural, Natural, and Visual Resources into Transportation b y James L. Does look like something went awry with the scenery generation or colour correction somewhere along the line. The experiment results indicate that (1) the eggshell waste increases the hardness, thermal stability and reduces the ductility of asphalt; (2) the chemical environment in which the protons of the eggshell waste asphalt are located and the H index have no obvious changes; (3) the eggshell powder is characterized by a rough, wrinkled, porous and loosened structure; (4) the nano-microstructure of eggshell waste asphalt exhibits “bee-like structures”, and the different proportion of eggshell waste changes the maturity, size and quantity of the “bee-like structures” and roughness, which can be attributed to the interaction of the asphaltene-waxiness system.A valuable resource for transportation planners, engineers, landscape architects, and other professionals associated with the construction of innovative roadway construction, highway connectivity and infrastructure projects. After reading this book, I now have a better understanding of our roads, the offices that deal with their structures and repair, and just how monumental a task it is to keep our roads serviceable, as well as try to keep the environmental impact at a minimum. The results indicate the following: seashell powder is a coarse, porous, and angular CaCO 3 bio-material; seashell powder and the asphalt binder represent a stable physical mixture of modified properties; seashell powder improves the consistency, hardness, and high-temperature performance of the asphalt binder but weakens the low-temperature performance of it; seashell powder enhances the elasticity, recovery performance, and permanent deformation resistance of asphalt binders and improves high-temperature rheological properties; finally, seashell powder has a minimal effect on the crack resistance of asphalt binders at very low temperatures. The most sustainable approach to transportation would be to maximize use of existing public infrastructure, reduce people's need to drive, increase roadway connectivity, disperse traffic, and minimize the construction of new roads.
