Recycling of bituminous aggregates in cement concrete has been selected for the present study to determine suitability of recycled material in road construction. This will help in achieving economy in road construction as well as saving on environment degradation in term of reduced mining and less pollution. Construction and maintenance of roads and highways involve millions of tonnes of aggregate. Considering the scarcity of fresh aggregate, replacement of part of the fresh aggregate with recycled aggregate is considered in the present study. Construction of the road is quite cost intensive. Material alone cost more than 60% of the total construction cost, out of which aggregate cost component, is approximately 30%. We can use recycled aggregate in place of fresh aggregate in construction of road and provide economy to the project. For making best use of recycled aggregates, it is essential to study the suitability of the same in various pavement components. In the present study recycled aggregate are used in Granular Sub Base (GSB) and Wet Mix Macadam (WMM).

Compressive strengths of recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) with different recycled aggregates(RA) replacement ratios at 7d, 28d, 60d ages are investigated respectively. Failure process and failure mode of RAC are analyzed, influences on compressive strength with same mix ratio and different RA replacement ratios are analyzed, and the reason is investigated in this paper. The experimental results indicate that compressive strength of recycled concrete at 28d age can reach the standard generally, it is feasible to mix concrete with recycled aggregates, compressive strength with 50% replacement ratio is relatively high.

Abstract The lack of a common methodology on compaction theory stimulates developers of road construction equipment to create various approximate methods for their calculation, the number of which, at the present time, is comparable with the nomenclature of the proposed designs of rollers. The article presents the analysis of the deformable shell behavior of a road roller, and the compacted material under its compacting roller, in a situation when a rigid circular shell of the roller is replaced by a forcefully deformable elliptical shape, which, unlike the circular design, allows variation, adjustment and optimization of the road roller impact on the material to be compacted.

Globally, the concrete industry consumes large quantities of natural resources, which are becoming insufficient to meet the increasing demands. Cement and aggregates are major constituents of concrete. Utilisation of waste materials in concrete instead of raw materials reduces environmental pollution. Ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) is a by-product of steel industry. It has cementatious property. Recycled aggregates are obtained from demolishing waste. By using recycled concrete aggregate and GGBS in concrete we can reduce environmental problem to some extent. This experimental study evaluate the effective utilisation of GGBS and recycled aggregate in concrete. In this study GGBS is used as partial replacement for cement and recycled aggregate as partial replacement for coarse aggregate.

Many researchers over the world have pointed out the great economic and environmental benefits of using recycled aggregate from waste concrete to make concrete. In Vietnam, although the demand for concrete is increasing in both civil and infrastructure construction such as rural concrete roads, however, the use of waste concrete aggregate to make concrete still has not been adequately studied. With the experimental test, the authors have studied the change in the strength of concrete using large recycled aggregates, thereby clarifying the possibility of using this type of concrete in rural concrete road construction. The results show that, if the amount of recycled aggregate to replace natural aggregate is below 30%, the concrete strength achieved is slightly reduced compared to the control concrete. As the amount of recycled aggregate increases, the strength of the concrete decreases significantly but still can meet the strength requirement of concrete in rural roads.

The article reviews the option of how to make the top pavement of asphalt-concrete mixture adhere reliably to the base, which is the underlying cement-concrete coating. The bitumen-latex emulsion is suggested as a binder for the two pavement layers. The research aimed to determine the optimal layer thickness of the bituminous-latex emulsion to be applied and achieve the maximum interlayer adhesion between the top asphalt-concrete pavement and the cement-concrete base. After full-scale experiments, the required layer thickness of the bitumen-latex emulsion was 2 mm. With this layer thickness of the binder, road pavement layers do not delaminate and shear when stressed by the intensive flows of vehicles moving on the roads. The results obtained are important for the road construction industry for suggesting the formulation of bitumen-latex emulsion and finding the most effective layer thickness to be applied. The suggested formulation of a bitumen-latex emulsion is frost-resistant. The article describes the experimental steps for determining the optimal application thickness at a fair length. The maintenance-free life of roads with an asphalt-concrete mixture on a cement-concrete base interlayered with a bitumen-latex emulsion as a binder is assumed to get much longer.

The utilization of Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) in the road construction sector induces considerable economic and ecological benefits. The blending of the recycled material with new components is believed to be of great importance for the mixture’s properties. An extensive knowledge of the blending of the materials is crucial in optimizing the use of RA, especially at higher recycling rates. In this paper, the applicability of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode to study the bituminous coating of RA granulates is investigated. This method is a promising alternative to trace heterogeneous areas within the coating compared to methods that require extraction and recovery of bitumen. A method for sample preparation and FTIR spectra analysis is proposed. Four different samples were analyzed: a reference RA granulate, two types of RA granulates mixed with neat bitumen, and a RA granulate with rejuvenator. The results show that the use of ATR-FTIR microscope allows the tracing of different components, indications of blending, as well as proof of rejuvenation of the aged bituminous area.

The management of different industrial by-products, such as recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste and alumina by-products, as well as the reduction of landfill deposits by incorporating these products in a second life cycle, were the focus of this work. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the technical viability of using these waste and by-product as a material for road pavement base layers. For this purpose, a real-scale application was carried out, and the behavior of three types of materials, applied on a section of an experimental road under real vehicle traffic conditions, was studied and compared. Three materials were used in these sections applied in the road sub-bases. First, a control material composed of a type of artificial gravel was used to be compared with the rest of materials; the second material was composed of recycled aggregates, and the third was composed of a mix of recycled aggregates and alumina waste. The results concluded that the effectiveness of the sections built using recycled aggregates and alumina waste was very positive and similar those constructed using natural aggregates.
