The main objective was to develop mix designs for concrete incorporating minimally processed reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials to be used in the Florida Concrete Test Road. The laboratory program was conducted in two phases. Phase I involved testing of twelve (12) trial mixes to identify feasible mixes which could meet the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) specification requirements for pavement concrete. Based on the preliminary test results from the trial mixes, ten (10) production mixes were identified and evaluated more extensively in Phase II to establish the optimum concrete mixes incorporating RAP to be recommended. Concrete mixtures, with 0% to 40% RAP as aggregate replacement and using 20% fly ash and 50% slag as cement replacement, were designed using the optimized aggregate gradation (OAG) technique instead of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) method. Among the RAP concrete evaluated, the 20% RAP concrete mixes with 0%, 20% fly ash, and 50% slag as cement replacement were able to meet Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) over-design compressive strength of 29 MPa (4200 psi) at 28 days. Using 20% and 40% RAP in concrete could result in saving in the total cost of aggregate by 9% and 17%, respectively. When the RAP is not refined (e.g., no washing of RAP, and no separating of coarse and fine portions), it is recommended that 20% of RAP can be used as aggregate replacement in pavement concrete.

And Performance

The two primary factors that drive the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) are economic savings and environmental benefits. However, highway agencies are concerned about the use of a high percentage of RAP in asphalt pavements. This study addressed issues related to the production, construction, properties, and performance of asphalt pavements that contain high percentages of RAP. Mixtures that contained up to 40% RAP were successfully designed, produced, and constructed after proper procedures were followed and attention to detail was paid during design, production, and construction. A separate drum for drying and heating RAP, called a parallel heating system, was used to produce high RAP content asphalt mixtures in a batch plant. Rejuvenating agents were mixed directly in a surge bin to allow the rejuvenator enough time to diffuse into aged RAP binder. Comprehensive laboratory tests were performed to evaluate the air voids, the resilient modulus, the rut depth, and the Cantabro weight loss of asphalt mixtures with high RAP content. A test road was constructed in 2014 to monitor how high RAP asphalt pavements would perform under real traffic and environmental conditions. An in-depth investigation was conducted of pavement performance, including cracking, friction, and rutting. The engineering properties of plant-produced mixtures and field cores were well correlated with the pavement performance of the test road. Test results indicated that high RAP content asphalt mixtures could perform as satisfactorily as those produced with virgin materials to meet in-service requirements.

This study presents the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), and fly ash as artificial aggregate and filler in asphalt concrete. Because of the limited availability of natural materials, infrastructure development has become a concern. Therefore, it is necessary to reuse and recycle waste materials. One such innovation is artificial aggregates. The disadvantage of RAP is that its gradation exceeds the standard; its asphalt penetration and ductility exceed the requirements. The weaknesses of artificial aggregate are high water absorption, spherical shape, and low aggregate interlocking. In this study, the artificial aggregate was produced using the fly ash and alkali activator. Alkali activator consisted of Na2SiO3 and 8M NaOH at a ratio of 2.5. The mixtures containing different percentages of artificial aggregate (45, 55, 65, and 75%) were produced, and the fly ash filler content was 5%. Different tests including XRF, SEM, and Marshall tests were conducted. The artificial aggregate is hydrophilic owing to the high silica content; thus, it has high water absorption. This results in a low adhesion between the asphalt and aggregate. The best composition of asphalt concrete is 55% artificial aggregate, RAP, fly ash filler, and asphalt. The asphalt concrete containing artificial aggregate has high stability and is stiff and light. However, it requires a high asphalt content because of high water absorption. It is unsuitable for application in high traffic roads but suitable for medium traffic ones.

For several years reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material has been used as a construction material in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) to reduce material costs and stabilize pavements. Of the 45 million tons of RAP produced every year in the United States, only 33% is being used in HMA. Recent studies have demonstrated that RAP can be used effectively in base layers when it is blended with aggregate base materials and stabilized with cement or fly ash additives. This adoption in the pavement base layer helps maximize the reutilization of RAP material and minimize its disposal in landfills, thereby making it an environmentally friendly practice. However, studies reported so far addressed only the strength and stiffness characteristics of stabilized RAP in base layers in the short term, and not many studies have addressed its long-term behavior. In this study the long-term durability of untreated as well as stabilized specimens was tested by conducting standard durability testing to replicate the moisture fluctuations in the field from seasonal variations. In addition, leachate studies were conducted to examine the effect of rainfall infiltration on the leachability of the cement or fly ash stabilizer from stabilized RAP mixtures. Durability studies revealed a very low volumetric change and good retaining strength at the end of three, seven, and 14 cycles for RAP material from the El Paso, Texas, area, and leachate tests proved that the leaching of cement or fly ash stabilizer from RAP mixes cannot be considered to be a concern for long-term performance. However, approximately 2 years of field infiltration were replicated in the laboratory in this study. Of the several RAP mixtures studied, the mixture composed of 60% RAP and 40% base material with 2% cement was identified as an effective long-term-performing mixture.
