Population increase and economic developments can lead to construction as well as demolition of infrastructures such as buildings, bridges, roads, etc resulting in used concrete as a primary waste product. Recycling of waste concrete to obtain the recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for base and/or sub-base materials in road construction is a foremost application to be promoted to gain economical and sustainability benefits. As the mortar, bricks, glass and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) present as constituents in RCA, it exhibits inconsistent properties and performance. In this study, six different types of RCA samples were subjected classification tests such as particle size distribution, plasticity, compaction test, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests. Results were compared with those of the standard road materials used in Queensland, Australia. It was found that material type 'RM1-100/RM3-0' and 'RM1-80/RM3-20' samples are in the margin of the minimum required specifications of base materials used for high volume unbound granular roads while others are lower than that the minimum requirement.

This paper investigates mechanical properties of roller compacted concrete (RCC) involving reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). In this way, a set of 276 cylindrical RCC specimens were prepared with different RAP sizes (i.e., fine, coarse & total) at various ratios (i.e., 10%, 20%, and 40%). Results reveal that incorporation of RAP decreases unconfined compressive strength (UCS), modulus of elasticity (E), and indirect tensile (IDT) strength of RCC. For each RAP size, a regression model was used to maximize RAP content while satisfying the UCS lower limit (27.6 Mpa) mentioned by ACI as a minimum requirement for RCC used in pavement construction. Moreover, UCS of RAP incorporated mixes, dissimilar to that of control mixes, was found to be sensitive and insensitive to the testing temperature and curing time after 7 days, respectively. The results also demonstrate that the higher amounts of RAP, the more flexibility in RCC is. This issue was also proved by the results of modulus of elasticity test. In addition, the toughness index (TI) shows that increase in RAP content leads to up to 43% increase in energy absorbance capacity of RCC.

본 논문은 가열 재생아스팔트 흔합물의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법을 개발하기 위한 연구의 일부분이다. 새로이 개발된 혼합 방법은 회수 아스팔트 포장의 기존 바인더를 훨씬 많이 회생시켜 재생 혼합물에서 균일한 바인더의 정도를 갖게 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 새로이 개발된 혼합 방법으로 제조된 재생아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형 저항 특성을 평가하는 것이다. 두 종류 골재(편마암 화강암), RAP의 두 가지 함량(15, 30%), LDPE의 두 가지 첨가량(0, 6%)를 이용하였으며, 혼합방법은 바인더의 불균등 상태를 개선하기 위한 두 가지 방법, 즉 일반적인 기존의 A 방법과 새롭게 개발한 F 방법을 이용하였다. 재생 혼합물 내의 바인더 산화 정도의 차를 조사하기 위하여 GPC분석을 실시하였고, 흔합 방법에 따른 소성변형 저항성을 평가하기 위하여 각 혼합 방법에 따라 제작한 재생 흔합물을 휠 트랙킹 시험과 변형강도를 측정하였다. 소성변형 저항 특성과 변형강도와의 상관관계는 기존의 A 방법보다 새롭게 개발된 F 방법이 더 높게 나타나, F 방법으로 제조된 혼합물의 품질이 보다 일관성 있는 소성변형 저항성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.
