Cold in-situ recycling with foamed bitumen has become one of the most cost-effective and sustainable technologies due to working low heating energy, less transport, decreasing use new materials. This paper presents a benchmark laboratory study volumetric mechanical properties cold recycled mixes blended 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in granular base layer. The air void content, indirect tensile strength, resistance moisture damage are tested evaluate impact active filler, compaction...
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a recyclable aggregate produced during the demolition of old flexible pavements and consists natural aggregates (NA) coated with aged bitumen. The detrimental effect caused by bitumen coating on strength porosity has limited use RAP traditional cementitious systems. This study investigates potential fine to substitute NA in production alkali-activated slag mortars (AAM). different activator dosages was assessed, i.e., either 4% or 6% Na2O (wt. slag)...
High-performance cementitious composites have been developed to overcome the brittleness of mortars and concretes, thus improving deformation toughness these materials under flexion tension. Poli Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) fibres are employed in production such “Engineered Cementitious Composites” - ECC; PVA a loadcarrying capacity after first crack (matrix failure), which changes mechanical behaviour from brittle ductile significantly increases ultimate strength. This deflection or...
