ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three

Recycling of Reclaimed Asphalt Concrete Using Warm Asphalt Mixture and Emulsified Asphalt Cationic
Warm asphalt mixture (WMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) are the most memorable sustainable materials in world of asphalt concrete pavements . This research aims to study the warm asphalt mixture for different types of filler materials such as ordinary cement and limestone dust.

Resilient Behavior of Modified Asphalt Concrete Mixture [PDF]
Asphalt concrete pavement is designed to exhibit elastic behavior under loading at cold weather condition and a combination of elastic, plastic and viscous behavior at hot weather condition. Distress of the pavement usually starts with initiation of micro cracking due to load repetition, while such cracks can heal by themselves in slow process under ...

Deep Spatially Varying Coefficient Model for Interpolation of Non‐Stationary Meteorological Data
ABSTRACT In spatial statistics, the spatially varying coefficient model (SVCM) is widely applied in the analysis and interpolation of non‐stationary spatial data. By incorporating spatially varying coefficients, the model can capture spatial heterogeneity and provide an attractive interpretation of response‐covariate associations.

MECHANISTIC EVALUATION OF LIME-MODIFIED ASPHALT CONCRETE MIXTURES
Frequently, Load associated mode of failure (rutting and fatigue) as well as, occasionally, moisture damage in some sections poorly drained are the main failure types found in some of the newly constructed road within Baghdad as well as other cities in Iraq.

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...

DETERMINATION OF OPTIMUM QUANTITY OF BITUMEN IN ASPHALT CONCRETE MIXTURES
The problem of calculating the quantity of a required bitumen is formulated as follows: from certain mineral materials the grading curves and narrow fraction bitumen receptivities which are known to determine the composition of an asphalt concrete mixture that satisfies grading limitations of mineral materials and contains minimum quantity of a ...

Novel Parameterization of Building Storage Heat Flux for Urban Climate Modeling
Abstract Accurate estimation of building heat storage flux (ΔQS) is essential for modeling the urban surface energy balance and urban climates. The Objective Hysteresis Model (OHM) is a computationally efficient scheme that uses coefficients (a1, a2, a3) that can be derived from standard thermal parameters for heat conduction.
