1. Gestión Sustentable de Infraestructura Vial Sustainable Management of Road Infrastructure Ing. Mauricio Salgado Torres M.Sc.

2. Sustainability Sustentabilidad - Sostenibilidad Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs Satisfacer las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la capacidad de las generaciones futuras para satisfacer sus propias necesidades

3. SustainableSustentable - Sostenible The Progess IS NOT antonym to Sustainability El Progeso NO es antónimo a la Sustentabilidad (Social) (Soportable) (Equitativo) The real challenge is precisely to achieve greater progress and growth, balanced and development (social and environmental) (Ambiental) (Económico) (Viable) Gestión Sustentable - Management Sustainable

4. Management Sustainable Gestión Sustentable Achieve the desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively, consistent with the principles of sustainability. LCA, LifeCycleAssessment(Evaluación del ciclo de vida )  

5. However, in Latin America and some other countries, even knowing that "good" pavement should be the most ... Safe, Durable, Comfortable, Economic and High Quality Standard, in addition to requiring minimum maintenance. It simply chooses the cheapest alternative!,... Or simply not valued attributes of a "good pavement" in the decision. And waiting for a miracle, and the pavement constructed endure!

6. Pavement and the sustainabilityLos Pavimentos y el concepto de Sustentabilidad • Economic Aspects • LCA including user cost • Environmental Aspects • Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions • Global warming • Power Consumption • Air pollution / noise • Social Aspects • Road Safety • Minor impacts to user • User comfort Global trends are aimed at promoting and encouraging the use of technologies that make the SUSTAINABLE PAVEMENT The modern decision criteria exceeded… not limited to a simple ranking by initial cost

7. The Importance of UserLa Importancia del Usuario The opinion of the neighbor and communities is decisive on the type of infrastructure they need and prefer. La opinión de los vecinos y comunidades es concluyente y determinante sobre el tipo de infraestructura que requieren y prefieren.

8. Concrete Pavement Life Cycle • Develop a comprehensive methodology of good-practice concepts for conducting a pavement LCA; • Use the developed methodology to quantify GHG emissions for concrete pavements, identify strategic opportunities for reducing emissions, and calculate the cost effectiveness of the reduction strategies; • Improve the science which supports pavement LCAs by developing a mechanistic pavement-vehicle interaction (PVI) (model that relates fuel consumption to pavement material and structural properties).

9. Fuente: Santero, N et al. Methods, Impacts, and Opportunities in the Concrete Pavement Life Cycle Concrete Pavement Life Cycle Life-cycle phases and components of reviewed pavement LCA tools • The use phase includes everything that happens while the pavement is in operation that can be directly attributed to a pavement’s properties and characteristics. The components that are relevant from an LCA perspective are: • rolling resistance; • albedo; • concrete carbonation; • lighting demand; • tire wear. The use phase has the challenging pretext of being the most impactful yet the most uncertain of the life-cycle phases.

10. Potential GHG emission reduction strategies for concrete pavementEstrategias Potenciales de reducción  emisiones (gases de efecto invernadero) en pavimentos de hormigón • Embodiedemissions • Supplychainmanagement, SCM • Ttwo-liftpaving • Darwin-ME/MEPDG designs • Rollercompacted concrete • Virginaggregatesubstitutes • Limestoneadditions • Reducedprocessingenergy • Carbonation • EndonLife, EOL • Pervious concrete • Albedo and urban heat island • White aggregate and White cement • Pervious concrete • photocatalytic cement • two-lift paving (high albedo materials in top surface) • Pavement-vehicle interaction - PVI • Extra rehabilitation • Improved smoothness stability • Incentives for reduced initial smoothness

11. Reduce CO2 • Less intensive construction operations involve a huge fuel cost savings and CO2 emissions. • Use of industrial by-products (fly ash and slag) in concrete paving mixes improves the durability of the pavement, save money, reduce their CO2 footprint, reduce costs, conserve natural resources.

12. Importance of clear pavement surfacesImportancia de las superficies claras en los pavimentos Isla Calor (Heat Island) The measured results show that the temperature of cities can be significantly reduced due to the use of clear and bright surfaces such as concrete pavement • Clear surfaces leads to improved nighttime visibility, reduces the need for lighting, in addition to reducing heat island effects.

13. Albedo The use of building materials bright and clear with a high Albedo would reduce the surface temperature The use of construction materials with a high albedo would cause the temperatures were lower in urban areas

14. Concrete is naturally brighter and more reflective than other pavement surfaces.  This requires less energy to illuminate comparable areas, which is good for the environment. Shinning light on pavementResplandor en el pavimento Having clear surfaces provide better safety for users and greater efficiency in terms of lighting

15. “Photocatalytic road-concrete”Pavimentos Fotocatalíticos TiO2 is added to a cement mortar in order to diminish the air polluting effect by exhaust gasses. In particular, the conversion of NOx to NO3 For the purification process is necessary that the concrete is exposed to ultraviolet radiation that is included in the light of day. Fuente: S.

18. Fuel Consumption ModelingModelación del Consumo de Combustible • Predicts fuel consumption as a function of the use of power. • Using two parameters:Fuel consumption with vehicle engine and stopped • Conversion factor of fuel efficiency Consumer Tire Modeling Modelación de Consumo de Neumáticos • The model includes the following recommendations: • Effects of roughness. • Effect of type of tire. • Effects of acceleration in the event of congestion.

19. Reduced demand on non renewable resourcesMenor demanda en los recursos no renovables • The concrete pavement have a lower demand on nonrenewable resources. • The strength and stiffness of concrete results in fewer and thinner layers of sub-base materials needed, and less need of material resources.

21. Importance of the texture of the pavementImportancia de la textura del pavimento • Using concrete provides the desirable friction and skid resistance properties of roadways.  • In addition to providing better friction and skid resistance, concrete pavements offer other safety, cost, and environmental benefits: • Non-rutting surface that doesn’t trap water • Excellent surface drainage • Better light reflectance • Fewer repairs … and fewer work zones over life of pavement

22. “Less noise on the pavement”Pavimentos Silenciosos Texture (noise emission) Textura (emisión de ruido) Porosity (noise absorption) Porosidad (absorción de ruido) • Diamond Griding • Pervious concrete
