The Research of the Feasibility of Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement as a Material for Regenerated Low-Density Pervious Concrete

Abstract:

The research is to compound (1) the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) with the asphalt penetration less than 15 (25°C, 5sec, 100g) and the gravel aggregates of the base course adopted from the existing roads, and (2) the cement binder into Regenerated Low-Density Pervious Concrete (RLDPC) whose the compressive strength is between 25 to 50 (kgf/cm²) and whose permeable capacity (ml/15sec) is greater than 600. The results show the RLDPC used as the pavement gravel gradation layer or as Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) that is more advantageous on (1) reducing the costs of re-filling pavement, (2) enhancing the durability of roads, and (3) increasing the flowing space of underground water.
