Assessment of Asphalt Mixture Behaviour Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, the construction industry uses the Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA)resulting from construction and demolition waste (CDW) to achieve sustainable requirements andeconomic benefits. In this paper, asphalt paving mixes were prepared with RCA instead of naturalaggregates for the base course in flexible road pavements and walking areas used by pedestrians andcyclists. Different asphalt mixes samples were prepared with different asphalt contents to meet therequired specifications. Additionally, several laboratory tests were carried out to assess mixturebehavior including the Marshall test. The results indicated that the mixture made with aggregates ofCDW have met all the requirements of Iraqi specifications of roads and bridges (SORB/R9). Thisinvestigation could be a useful guide for road engineers in designing asphalt mixtures from RCA.
