Comparative analysis of carbon emissions of different asphalt pavement structures

This article investigates and analyzes the differences in material carbon emissions of different asphalt pavement structures from the perspective of construction materials. Taking SMA-13 asphalt pavement and AC asphalt pavement as examples, the main road construction materials of asphalt pavement are analyzed, and the pavement structure inventory of SMA-13 asphalt pavement and AC asphalt pavement is established. A carbon emission calculation model is constructed to calculate the carbon emission of road construction materials of asphalt pavement and to propose relevant energy-saving and emission reduction suggestions. The research results show that SMA-13 asphalt pavement has good performance and produces relatively less carbon emission, which is suitable for wide application.
