Abstract

The SIIV Arena is a space for discussion in which PhD students and young scholars from various universities illustrate their research on topics of specific interest for the Scientific Disciplinary Sector ICAR/04 “Roads, Railways and Airports”. This volume collects the proceedings of the 7th SIIV Arena, held in Naples on 9 September 2022, and held as part of the XVIII International SIIV Summer School: "Sustainable Pavements and Road Materials". The use of construction and maintenance technologies based on principles of sustainability, resilience and circular economy, are a reference, in synergy with the use of secondary raw materials, for achieving adequate mechanical performance for the road structure, with a reduced environmental impact. and costs. The growth gradient recorded in the field of civil infrastructures has defined an incessant use of natural resources with consequent negative effects in terms of environmental sustainability. The reuse of waste in mix design processes and the use of in situ processing systems and/or "low energy" technologies (i.e., cold and/or warm asphalt mixtures) fully meet the objectives underlying the principles of the circular economy.This volume aims to collect the most innovative research in the sector presented in the context of the 7th SIIV Arena by analyzing aspects relating to the design, construction and maintenance of the pavement and road infrastructure as a whole. La SIIV Arena è uno spazio di confronto nel quale dottorandi e giovani studiosi delle diverse sedi accademiche illustrano le loro ricerche su temi di specifico interesse per il Settore Scientifico Disciplinare ICAR/04 “Strade, Ferrovie e Aeroporti”. Questo volume raccoglie gli atti della 7a SIIV Arena, tenutasi a Napoli il 9 settembre 2022, e svoltasi nell’ambito della XVIII International SIIV Summer School: “Sustainable Pavements and Road Materials”. Il ricorso a tecnologie di costruzione e manutenzione basate su principi di sostenibilità, resilienza ed economia circolare, sono di riferimento, in sinergia con l’utilizzo di materie prime seconde, per il raggiungimento di adeguate performance meccaniche per il corpo stradale, a ridotto impatto ambientale e costi. Il gradiente di crescita registrato nell’ambito delle infrastrutture civili ha definito un incessante ricorso all’utilizzo di risorse naturali con conseguenti effetti negativi in termini di sostenibilità ambientale. Il reimpiego di rifiuti nei processi di mix design e il ricorso all’uso di sistemi di lavorazione in situ e/o tecnologie a “bassa energia” (i.e. conglomerati bituminosi a freddo e/o tiepidi) accolgono in pieno gli obiettivi alla base dei principi dell’economia circolare.Tale volume si propone di raccogliere le ricerche più innovative nel settore presentate nell’ambito della 7a SIIV Arena analizzando aspetti relativi alla progettazione, costruzione e manutenzione nel suo complesso delle pavimentazioni e corpo stradale.

Abstract

Most policy makers readily acknowledge the economic, environmental, and social benefits of moving freight and passengers by waterways. However, why do many countries struggle to develop and revive their inland waterways transportation (IWT)? One reason is because of the dearth of successful examples of IWT revival. Aside from the United States and Europe, which have been relatively successful, the experience of many emerging countries has been a tale of intensive use followed by total collapse of the IWT sector. However, the combination of societal, economic, and environmental imperatives is motivating reassessment, as countries look to develop sustainable transport systems and to curb greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. China's experience has similarities to the experience of many countries and offers valuable lessons. This report is the result of an in-depth retrospective study of IWT in China and fills a gap in global knowledge. From an IWT system that carried less than 150 million tons in 1978, IWT in China carried 3.74 billion tons of cargo in 2018--six times more than either the European Union or the United States. China now has the busiest IWT system in the world. China's leadership in IWT development started with years of investment in infrastructure that transformed lowgrade waterways, allowing larger vessels to use the waterways, which resulted in higher transport efficiency and lower cost. China also invested in development of skills and technical know-how. To date there are 127,000 km of inland waterways in China that have high-quality navigability and a good safety record. During the period of rapid economic development, China also adopted or developed internationally recognized technical innovations for river classification, vessel replacement, navigation technology, and environmental protection. What China achieved is informative. In particular, how and why China improved IWT provides valuable lessons for other countries.

Abstract

This is an Open Access book. In accordance with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, it showcases 17 projects under the framework of Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). These projects cover ninefields, namely, biodiversity and ecosystem, clean energy, clean water, sustainable transportation, solid waste treatment, sustainable consumption and production, green buildings, sustainable foodproduction and corporate social responsibility. Aiming at achieving green development, these projects, in their implementation, adhere to the concept of ecological civilization, combine China’s strict environmental protection systems and international standards, and take various measures of environmental protection based on the conditions of the local environment. These measures include joint efforts with local governments, businesses and communities, optimizating of design and construction plans, strict controling over different types of pollutants, and in situ conservation of species and ecosystems.The experience and practice of these 13 projects set an example for the latecomers.
