Design of flexible pavements with cold recycled asphalt bases: Comparison of five national approaches
(2020)
The Application of reclaimed asphalt is becoming increasingly important in the European Road Network.

However, the standard design procedures for common pavement materials as well as the approaches for cold recycling differ from one country to another. The comparison of five national pavement design procedures shows, that ...

Assessing the Level of Self-Reliance and Livelihood of Encamped Refugees
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2020)
