Análisis de la funcionalidad de pavimentos verdes como alternativa de reducción de impactos ambientales en proyectos de infraestructura vial en colombia

Abstract

The current state of green pavement technologies, particularly the use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), has had a gradual but precise development internationally, and in Colombia it has been progressive. This monograph aims to analyze the applicability and technical insertion of green pavements in Colombia, highlighting their potential as a key tool to move towards a more sustainable infrastructure, highlighting a promising option to contribute to environmental protection, considering the development of this strategy towards road development with cycling principles and contemporary technologies such as the use of tools such as AASHTO93 and SimaPro 9.6.0.1, to establish a projection comparison between a cold-cast in-situ RAP pavement and a traditional hot-cast pavement. The input data of each pavement aligned with the evaluation of various impact categories given by the ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) v1.08 / World (2010) method, allows to quantify their contributions to the environment, specifying the key points of critical impact of these elements.
