Abstract

In a context where transportation engineering results in energy savings, affordable and friendly environment techniques, cold mix asphalt (CMA) technology emerges. The experimental principles provide a fundamental answer to the effects of construction and demolition (C&D) waste like recycled concrete aggregate dust (RCAD) and recycled plaster dust (RPD) as filler in CMA. The mechanical performance was further enhanced by adding cement (1–3% of the mix's weight). The experimental program includes enhancing properties like stability, moisture sensitivity, tensile strength, abrasion loss, fatigue life, and rutting resistance of the mixture. RPD is the most suitable filler based on mixture performance under different tests. The results also reflected that cement has a detrimental effect on improving moisture susceptibility and stiffness of the CMA, and both of the filler mixes gave satisfying performance under the tests conducted in this study. The morphological study of fillers and cement revealed that the pozzolanic properties could influence the laboratory performance of mixtures. And the detailed statistical analysis of filler type has a significant effect on the overall laboratory performances of CMA mixes. The cost of CMA with RCAD filler is 9.97% higher than the conventional filler mix.
