• RCA with high CMC value, complex shape and surface leads to worse interfacial adhesion failure. GA-BP artificial neural network presented considerable capacity predict the damage behavior. The cement mortar content exhibited greatest influence on property of asphalt mortar-RCA interface. Asphalt-aggregate interface’s properties commonly affect initiation evolution within concrete materials, r...

The bituminous pavement rehabilitation alternatives are mainly overlaying, recycling and reconstruction. In the recycling process the material from deteriorated pavement, known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is partially or fully reused in fresh construction. Some of the advantages associated with pavement recycling are (i) less user delay (ii) conservation of energy (iii) preservation of...

In addition to the known uses of natural clays, less publication attention has been paid clays returned production process. Industrially recovered such as bricks, tiles, sanitary ceramics, ceramic roofing etc., are applicable in building materials based on concrete an artificial recycled aggregate or a pozzolanic type II addition. this way, products with higher added value obtained from origina...
