Road rehabilitation and reconstruction generate large supplies of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregate, and recycling into asphalt paving mixtures is the predominant application. Cement kiln dust (CKD), also known as cement bypass dust, is a by-product material generated during production of portland cement. In Oman, where recycling of pavement materials is not practiced, a first attempt was made at combining two by-product materials for use in road construction. Conservation of natural resources and preservation of the environment are two benefits that could be gained by reusing waste materials. The potential use in road bases of CKD-stabilized RAP and RAP with virgin aggregate mixtures was investigated. Physical, compaction, and unconfined compressive strength tests were conducted on RAP and virgin aggregate blends of 100% to 0%, 90% to 10%, 80% to 20%, and 0% to 100%. Samples were prepared using CKD at 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 15%, and 20% and were cured for 3, 7, and 28 days in plastic bags at room temperature. Results indicate that the maximum dry density and unconfined compressive strength of RAP generally increase with addition of virgin aggregate and CKD. The moisture content-dry density curves for CKD-stabilized RAP aggregate mixtures did not show a distinctive peak similar to that of the 100% virgin aggregate blend. Longer curing periods will produce higher strength values. CKD content of 15% seems to be the optimum for achieving maximum strength.

An experimental work was conducted to study the use of factory-waste roof shingles to enhance the properties of fine-grained soil used in road works. Cement kiln dust (CKD), a cogenerated product of Portland cement manufacturing, was used as a stabilizing agent while the processed shingles were added to enhance the soil tensile strength. The effects of shingles on strength and stability were evaluated using the unconfined compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. The results showed that the use of CKD alone resulted in a considerable increase in the unconfined compressive strength but had a small effect on the tensile strength. The addition of shingles substantially improved the tensile strength of the stabilized soil. A significant reduction in the capillary rise and a slight decrease in the permeability were obtained as a result of shingle addition. An optimal shingle content of 10% is recommended to stabilize the soil.

This study analyses the possibilities of using up to 30% of reclaimed asphalt pavement as a substitute material for natural aggregate, along with fly ash replacing 20% or 40% of Portland cement in cement stabilizations with 4% and 6% of binder. The Proctor test was used to determine maximum dry density and optimal moisture content of cement-based stabilizations. The compressive strength was tested after 7, 28, and 90 days. Parameters influencing 28-day compressive strength were evaluated by full factorial design and by classification in strength classes. The results obtained justify the utilisation of waste and recycled materials in pavement structures.

Jalan beraspal merupakan salah satu prasarana transportasi utama di Indonesia yang belum sepenuhnya mencapai kondisi yang aman dan nyaman dimana sering dijumpai kondisi permukaan jalan yang tidak rata, bergelombang dan berlubang yang menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan bagi penggunanya. Kegiatan perbaikan dan pemeliharaan struktur perkerasan jalan, dalam hal ini jalan beraspal, menjadi sangat penting untuk kelangsungan kegiatan transportasi. Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi di bidang transportasi telah melahirkan satu terobosan baru tentang teknologi penanganan kerusakan jalan yaitu dengan cara daur ulang lapis perkerasan aspal yang sudah ada. Metode daur ulang ini memiliki keuntungan antara lain dapat menghemat biaya, merupakan green technology, memiliki kualitas yang sama dengan material baru, dan menjaga geometris perkerasan karena tebal perkerasan yang sama. Penentuan kadar air terbaik dalam campuran foam bitumen terhadap nilai kuat tarik tak langsung (ITS) serta kuat tekan bebas (UCS) untuk campuran lapis pondasi daur ulang. Dilakukan secara bertahap, dari pengujian untuk bahan penyusun campuran yaitu agregat baru, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), filler, aspal, dan foam bitumen. Kemudian uji terhadap campuran padat meliputi Uji Marshall, Uji Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) dan Uji Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS). Kadar air dan kadar foam bitumen sangat berpengaruh terhadap kuat tarik tak langsung (Indirect Tensile Strength/ITS) serta kuat tekan bebas (Unconfined Compressive Strength/UCS) dari campuran dingin daur ulang dengan foam bitumen. Nilai ITS, TSR dan UCS yang dicapai menggunakan kadar foam 2% dan kadar air optimum terbaik yang diketahui dalam penelitian sebesar 100% terhadap Kadar Air Optimum (KAO) yaitu masing- masing 301,04 kPa, 76,36%, dan 723,49 kPa

An expansive clay, also known as Black cotton soil (BCS) was treated with up to 10 % cement kiln dust (CKD) using three different compactive efforts; British Standard light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS) and British Standard heavy (BSH) energies. Laboratory tests were performed on the natural soil and CKD treated soil samples in accordance with BS 1377 (1990) and BS 1924 (1990) respectively with the aim of improving the deficient soil to meet engineering requirements. Preliminary evaluations on the natural black cotton soil showed that it fell under A-7-6 (16) using AASHTO classification and CL according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Results of laboratory tests carried out on soil specimens show that the properties of the soil generally improved with CKD treatment. Peak unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values of 357.07, 382.49 and 528.82 kN/m2 and California bearing ratio (CBR) of 7, 10 and 19 % as well as resistance to loss in strength of 44, 55 and 55 % were recorded at 10 % CKD treatment, respectively, for BSL, WAS and BSH compactive energies. Reduction in the particle sizes with curing period was observed when samples were viewed through the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The study showed that CKD can be beneficially used to improve the subgrade of lightly trafficked roads and as admixture in lime stabilization during construction of flexible pavements over expansive soil.Keywords: California bearing ratio; Cement kiln dust, Durability; Expansive soil; Microanalysis, Unconfined compressive strength; Scanning electron microscope.
