Book Description
Use of recycled materials promotes sustainability in roadway construction by reducing consumption of energy and emission of greenhouse gases associated with mining and the production of natural aggregates. Recycled asphalt pavements (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) have comparable characteristics to natural aggregates that are currently used in roadway base course applications. This study has developed a database for RAP and RCA materials' characteristics including resilient modulus (Mr), California bearing ratio (CBR), gradations along with construction specifications. RAP and RCA relationships with different engineering and index properties were investigated and some trends were proposed such as higher RAP content reveals higher summary of resilient modulus (SMr), higher RCA content causes higher optimum moisture content (OMC) and lower maximum dry unit (MDU).In addition, pavement mechanistic-empirical (ME) analyses have been conducted with the material inputs collected for the database to determine whether different values of different characteristics of RCA and RAP can be used in flexible or rigid pavement designs. Results showed that Mr parameter had the highest impact on pavement distress predictions among gradations and hydraulic conductivity.
