Abstract

The past few decades has seen rapid urbanization and population growth, which has increased waste production. When the generated waste is not properly disposed of or handled, the issue gets worse. The proper management of waste is essential for a nation's economic growth. Therefore, promoting economic and sustainable development along with environmental protection is the fundamental and primary goal of waste management. In all areas of civil transportation infrastructure, sustainable development is becoming more and more important for clear and important reasons. The construction of pavements requires a lot of virgin or natural aggregates. High environmental consequences caused by NA extraction have a detrimental effect on environmental protection and conservation. In order to lessen these environmental effects, a variety of different materials are procured through construction and demolition waste have been studied as a potential substitute for Natural Aggregate. In this study, the production of asphalt mixtures is reviewed with the use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate. The literature has been assessed based-on performance tests: Marshall stability, resilient modulus, dynamic modulus, Tensile Strength Ratio, Indirect tensile strength and Dynamic creep test. The majority of the research recommended substituting 40% RCA with Virgin Aggregate. Specifically for low-traffic roads, majority of the literature clearly shows RCA has probable scope for use in the creation of asphalt mixtures.
