1. CONFIDENTIAL SUMMARY This project addresses Task 2.2.1/18 ‘Road infrastructure materials’ of Key Action ‘Sustainable Mobility and Intermodality1. It merges two proposals which were accepted by the Commission for contract negotiation: project MAP, about materials used in highway pavements, and project STRIM, about innovative materials used for maintenance of highway structures. The societal needs that are specifically targeted in the project are to support the EU policy on sustainable development, waste management and energy efficiency, and, as a specific issue under task 2.2.1/18, the challenge of finding optimal repair strategies for a large number of critical concrete structures on the main road networks in CE countries as well as in some EEA countries. The primary means by which the project will contribute are by encouraging a greater use of recycled components in pavement materials and by the explicit consideration of environmental performance in the design. Attention will also be paid to the situation within Central European countries for which the RETRA-EST programme has identified environmental considerations in recycling and use of alternative materials as a first priority for co-operative actions. The second key objective is to prepare for the harmonisation of European approaches of material specification within the next generation of CEN standards. This will involve moving from a recipe approach, which puts much emphasis on the intrinsic characteristics of the constituents, to a performance-based approach of the in-place products, which allows consideration to be made irrespective of the type of material. This part of the project has the following technical and scientific objectives:
1. to produce a general methodology for the assessment of functional, safety and environmental aspects for the use and re-use of any kind of material taking into consideration the actual context of use. The originality is the consideration of the material interactivity with its environment in the assessment process;
2. to draft an environmental annex to CEN products standards and to define testing protocols for investigation of hazardous components when considering the re-use of pavement materials;
3. to develop mechanical models and test methods in order to derive performance-based specifications related to functional properties;
4. to produce technical guides and recommendations for a proper use of recycling techniqu...
