The application of recycled aggregates in the asphalt industry has been investigated recent decades. However, low percentages these materials have practically used mixtures because limitations set by relevant specifications due to their performance uncertainties. This research investigates feasibility increasing percentage 100% hot mix (HMA). Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), glass (RG), and r...

To determine the behavior of hot mix asphalt including different penetration grade bitumen has been a major subject of paving engineering. In this study the effects of different penetration grade binders on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt were investigated with four different tests. The specimens prepared with AC-5, AC-10, AC-20 and SBS modified AC-10. The stiffness modulus, creep ...

The growth in various types of industries together with population growth has resulted in enormous increase in production of various types of waste materials world over creating a problem of its disposal in eco-friendly way. To deal with the problem, study on use of plastic waste as partial replacement to bitumen in flexible pavement is considered in the present work. The work consists of an ex...

This study is focused on investigating the effectiveness of low heat accumulation asphalt mixture and its impact on the urban heat environment. Infrared radiation experiments showed that the temperature of the asphalt mixture decreased with the increase in far-infrared radiant material. The results also revealed that, compared to asphalt with 0% far-infrared radiant content, the asphalt materia...
