Abstract

The disposal of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste generated in the cities has become a serious environmental problem nowadays. The use of Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) obtained from this C&D waste can reduce the amount of virgin aggregates for pavement construction. In this study, the recycled concrete aggregates are used in the manufacture of Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) mix. The fine and coarse aggregates in SMA mixes are partially replaced by RCA. The Marshall and volumetric properties of the SMA mixes containing RCA are evaluated and compared with the conventional SMA mix. The use of these SMA mixes prepared with RCA reduces the volume of natural resources consumed and solves the disposal problem of the C&D waste. This study thus actually paves a sustainable way for the asphalt pavement industry.
