| Abstract: | With More than 40 years of reform and opening, the highway construction in China has made remarkable achievements, which strongly supports the rapid development of the country's social economy. In the recent years, new theories, new methods, new technologies, new processes, new structures, and new materials related to pavement engineering are emerging. Based on the typical problems encountered in pavement construction, the technical innovation contents of the China's National Science and Technology Award, the projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the excellent Chinese authoritative journals, and the highly cited papers in Web of Science (WoS), this review paper systematically analyzes the research status and future development direction of 7 major fields of pavement engineering in China and abroad. The content includes intelligent and environment-friendly pavement, advanced pavement materials, advanced construction technology, pavement maintenance technology, pavement structure and mechanical properties, solid waste comprehensive utilization technology, and pavement recycling technology. Overall, this review paper is able to provide references and insights for researchers and engineers in the field of pavement engineering. |
