Editorial: Multiscale characterization of advanced pavement materials

Frontiers in Materials, vol. 10

Abstract

Multiscale characterization of advanced pavement materialsThe improvement of pavement materials and performance has always been a main direction for researchers.Whether the road performance of pavement materials is fine or not produces a decisive influence on service life and driving comfort of pavement.Therefore, the exploration and innovation of pavement materials and technologies are extremely important to enhance pavement performance in engineering construction."Frontiers in Materials" is a very highly renowned international journal, which publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research in the fields of materials science and engineering.This Research Topic "Multiscale Characterization of Advanced Pavement Materials" reports the emerging technologies in the field of pavement engineering that have been developing.This special Research Topic concentrates on the following aspects: advanced pavement materials, advanced road performance characterization methods, and technical optimization methods.
