Abstract

Road infrastructures and their management processes are key elements to foster the economic and social development of communities; for this reason, road pavements maintenance management entails continuous actions to define the strategies that keep the structural and functional characteristics of the pavement above certain thresholds and minimize life cycle costs. Moreover, the consumption of large amounts of natural materials and exhaustible resources, as well as the generation of high volumes of waste associated with the construction and maintenance of road pavement assets affect the environment via multiple damage pathways, triggering the need to integrate sustainability concepts into road pavement management. As emerging technologies are spreading rapidly through the construction industry, Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools allow practitioners to manage large amounts of data in an efficient way, potentially supporting decision-making processes into road asphalt pavement design and maintenance management. The present work focused, firstly, on the definition of a methodological pavement management framework involving structural, functional and life cycle-based environmental and economic indicators, respectively obtained applying Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Cost Analysis to a case study after a careful data collection and inventory filling. Secondly, the research work aimed at the elaboration of a BIM-based maintenance analysis tool for the automatic evaluation of several predictive pavement condition indicators, the definition of maintenance strategies, the evaluation of design alternatives according to economic and environmental criteria and the selection of the best maintenance strategy involving alternative materials and advanced recycling technologies. The main result consists of a practical, dynamic and automatic BIM-based tool to integrate maintenance planning considerations into road pavement digitalisation, encouraging the use of digital tools in road industry and ultimately supporting a pavement maintenance decision-making process oriented towards circular economy and life cycle sustainability.
