Abstract
Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) and Recycled Asphalt Pavements (RAP) are the most easily available “Construction and Demolition (C&D)” waste materials. Research work has established that the volumetric properties of bituminous mixes, i.e., bulk density, percentage voids in mineral aggregates, voids filled with bitumen, and the bitumen film thickness, are complementarily affected by the use of RCA & RAP. Studies have been conducted on dense bituminous mixes prepared with natural aggregates (NA) to analyze the effect of field compaction on the pavement life, using “Extended Marshall Compaction Test.” However, the performance characteristics of RCA and RAP substituted bituminous mixes, so as to ensure that the pavement material does not undergo premature failure due to surface bleeding and plastic deformation, remain under-researched. In this study, the performance characteristics of “Dense-Graded Bituminous Mix” prepared by substitution of natural aggregates (NA) by RCA and RAP have been studied. Laboratory experiments have been done by preparing Marshall samples at various bitumen contents corresponding to different compaction efforts. The effect of variation in either of the factors on Marshall properties has thereafter been analyzed.
