The success story of long life pavements

In recent years several papers have been published on long life pavements, perpetual pavements and success stories of long life pavements. All these papers are involved with sustainable development. This leads to the following statement: The need of the present generation is having pavements that are durable, long lasting and material & energy efficiently built. This paper gives an overview of the lessons learned from the success stories of PIARC Technical Committee 4.3.1 and describes how road infrastructure could be built in a sustainable way, by using the knowledge of the studies that have been done until now.
