Abstract: The need for durable, safe, and cost-effective road infrastructure has led to significant advancements in pavement engineering. High-performance roads demand materials and structural designs that can endure heavy loads, extreme weather, and increasing traffic demands. This paper explores recent innovations in materials, including modified asphalt binders, geosynthetics, and recycled materials, along with advanced structural design methodologies. Emphasis is placed on the integration of mechanistic-empirical design approaches and sustainability considerations. The paper also discusses the challenges and future scope of pavement engineering in achieving resilient and long-lasting transportation networks.
Keywords: High-performance roads, pavement materials, structural design, modified asphalt, mechanistic-empirical design
