Construction of low-carbon ecological roads is an important part of “resources-saving and environment-friendly” society. Low-carbon Ecological Road Construction Technologies edited by Xu Jian, et al summarizes and induces the technologies for low-carbon ecological road construction, with respect to land-saving, material-saving, energy-saving, water-saving, pollution reduction and enhancement of landscape plantation, and introduces particularly low-carbon technologies of road planning and general design, porous asphalt pavement, permeable pavement, warm-fixed asphalt mixture pavement, rubber asphalt pavement, foam asphalt stabilized aggregate base, recycling of building refuses in road works, pavement recycling technology, ecological slope and road afforestation for the preliminary planning design and construction.

Low-carbon Ecological Road Construction Technologies can be used as reference by professionals of highway and urban road design, construction and maintenance and can also be used as teaching reference for university teachers and students.
