Abstract:

This paper presents the results of laboratory studies, undertaken by the authors, in the frame of 4D-POSTDOC research program :"Innovative technologies and logistical solutions for the reuse of demolition and construction waste in the construction of cement concrete and fiber reinforced cement concrete pavements". After the presentation of the main objectives of this research program, and of the specific characteristics of the demolition wastes investigated in parallel with those of conventional construction materials, the possibility of using these materials for the preparation of the roller compacted concrete (RCC) is investigated. Finally, conclusions on the influence of recycled aggregates and recycled steel fibers on the mechanical performances of RCC and technical recommendations for the use of this more efficient material and of the involved technology for the construction of sustainable road infrastructures are formulated.
