Received: June 06, 2017 Revised: July 05, 2017 Accepted: July 19, 2017 Abstract: Introduction: The use of polymer wastes in pavement as road is an increasing trend in the road construction sector. Those new pavements reduce the amount of solid waste disposed into landfills and provide more sustainable construction due to the use of in-situ materials. Polyurethane foam waste is a thermostable polymer being used in the form of a grey-coloured foam, a by-product of the automobile industry.

Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of the cement treated Cold-in-Place Recycled Asphalt Mixtures
Cold-in-place recycling (CIR) is an environmentally sustainable alternative for preservation of asphalt pavements. A major disadvantage of this practice is the lower strength of the cold-in-place mixtures. Addition of cement into this type of mixture is a method for increasing its bearing capacity. The effect of cement content on the mechanical properties of the cold-in-place recycled asphalt m...
متن کاملAssessing rutting susceptibility of five different modified asphalts in bituminous mixtures using rheology and wheel tracking test
Rutting is one of the most important distresses in asphalt pavements due to its frequency. Rutting or channeling, could be classified in three types: 1) mechanical deformation (rutting in subgrade or base), 2) plastic flow (unstable asphalt layer), and 3) wheel path consolidation. The plastic flow of bituminous mixture depends on many factors; one of this is the type of asphalt used in the mixt...
متن کاملAnalysis of the strength of hot in-place recycled asphalt, its affecting factors and its comparison with conventional methods
In recent decades, economic development and population growth in the world has led to the expansion of road networks. Therefore the use of optimum methods for repairing and maintenance of these roads is considered as an important value. Today one of the options in this regard, is the use of asphalt recycling technology. The present study which took place in the summer of 2015 in Iran, Lorestan ...
متن کاملModification 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...
متن کاملEnvironmental Impacts of Producing Asphalt Mixtures with Varying Degrees of Recycled Asphalt Materials
The environmental impacts of producing asphalt mixtures with different percentages of asphalt binder replacement (ABR) are assessed using the technique of life cycle assessment (LCA). In this paper, only the material production phase of the pavement life cycle is considered. To improve the quality of the LCA, a regionalized life cycle inventory (LCI) database for the Northern Illinois region is...
