Life Cycle Analysis as a Sustainable Governance Lever for Environmental Performance: Evidence From French SBF 120 Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
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

Testing the parameters of hot-mix asphalt incorporating asphalt granulat

Budownictwo o Zoptymalizowanym Potencjale Energetycznym
In recent years, the scale of use of recycled asphalt pavements for the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) in Poland has been much smaller than in most other developed countries. Recently issued legal regulations and technical guidelines give hope for significant progress in this field.

Investigation of Mixing and Compaction Temperatures of Modified Hot Asphalt and Warm Mix Asphalt

Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2020
The determination of mixing and compaction temperatures through the Equiviscous method has been defined as the standard method and it is designed for the base bitumen (unmodified bitumen) based on the viscosity measurements. The implementation of the Equiviscous method for the modified bitumen resulted in high mixing and compaction temperatures which ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Performance evaluation of a HMA pavement longitudinal joint containing a void reducing asphalt membrane (VRAM)

Frontiers in Materials, 2023
Longitudinal joint cracking in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements is a major issue that occurs because high density (low air voids) is not easily achieved during construction as compared to the mat away from the joints.
