Against the backdrop of global warming and depletion natural resources, new techniques alternative materials need to be explored integrated into road construction. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is one waste that can reused in projects if its behavior better understood. Numerous researchers have studied use RAP both bound unbound pavement layers. However, mechanical deformation characteristic...

Issues like limitation of natural resources aggregates, global warming, need for eco-friendly, cost-effective, and high performance durable asphalt mixture, have made the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavements Warm Mix (RAP-WMA) Steel Slag (SS-WMA) interesting substitutions conventional Hot mixtures. Furthermore, presence moisture initiates accelerates deterioration both these In this way, response RAP-WM...

Today, an important part of paved surfaces in the world uses asphalt mixtures. This practice increases use aggregates and fossil fuels, availability which is limited. Most studies referring to mixtures reported compared mechanical performances without detailing environmental impacts different technologies proposed. The objective this study was present compare through a life cycle assessment usi...

The concept of extracting heat energy from asphalt pavements has been investigated in this study. The scope of work consisted of finite element modeling and testing with small and large scale asphalt pavement samples. Water flowing through copper tubes inserted within asphalt pavements samples were used as heat exchangers in the experiments. The rise in temperature of water as a result of flow ...

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) has been extensively studied for potential use as a recycled material in infrastructure construction. There is consensus that utilization of RAP provides environmental and economic benefits most projects. However, impacts to engineering performance are less known, owing the highly variable nature sources with different asphalt pavement mixtures milling processes...

An immense problem affecting environmental pollution is the increase of waste tyre vehicles. In an attempt to decrease the magnitude of this issue, crumb rubber modifier (CRM) obtained from waste tyre rubber has gained interest in asphalt reinforcement. The use of crumb rubber in the reinforcement of asphalt is considered as a smart solution for sustainable development by reusing waste material...
