Influence of recycled concrete aggregate treatment methods on performance of sustainable warm mix asphalt

Utilization of Recycled Asphalt Concrete with Warm Mix Asphalt and Cost-Benefit Analysis

The asphalt paving industries are faced with two major problems. These two important challenges are generated with an increase in demand for environmentally friendly paving mixtures and the problem of rapidly rising raw materials. Recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a critical necessity to save precious aggregates and reduce the use of costly bitumen. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technol...

Modification of the Properties of Warm Mix Asphalt Using Recycled Plastic Bottles

Construction of flexible pavements with hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures consumes huge energy which impacts the resources and the environment of the world. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is an effective alternative as they produced with lower mixing and compaction temperature than those used in HMA production. This technology decreases energy consumption, saves money, and reducing the environmental pollu...

Application of CNC Waste with Recycled Aggregate in Concrete Mix

In this Era of globalization when GDP of most of the countries are spending on an average 8% of the economy on infrastructure and when we see around us about the term infrastructure mostly we see the huge contribution of concrete in it; in addition to this three important terms are named as “Quality, Quantity and Economy”. There is a deadly race among the nations of various parts of the globe t...

Effects of Recycled Concrete Aggregates on Properties of Asphalt Concrete

Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...
