Recycled Concrete In Pavement

The recycling of concrete pavements—crushing of old concrete slabs and reusing the crushed material in some other pavement application—has been used in the U.S. since the 1970s (Hoerner et al. 2001). At that time, common reasons for concrete recycling were noted to be

Recycling concrete pavement prevents the recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) from going into landfills, for example, and, if the recycled material is used locally, can lead to decreased energy consumption and other costs associated with hauling and producing aggregate. In cities like Houston, TX, where the demand for new concrete is high, RCA is ...

Recycled materials primarily Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), and Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) are produced from pavement rehabilitation and construction-demolition activities. Generally, these materials are utilized for landfills, parking lots, shoulders, and other places that are not environmentally friendly. The top layers of the pavement and …

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is derived from crushed clean concrete debris, and is regarded as an alternative to using natural aggregate (NA) in concrete (Tam et al., 2018). Its relevant contents including physical properties, microscopic structural characteristics, and chemical composition, are detailed as follows.

There are significant challenges to managing resources for the reuse or recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). In rural areas, the reclaiming and recycling of aggregates can be done on a project-by-project basis, ensuring more consistent quality, but it is expensive and inefficient to move these low ...

Concrete pavement recycling is an environmentally sustainable choice in terms of energy and other life-cycle impacts. It can reduce the mining, use, and transportation of aggregate, all of which saves energy and reduces emissions. It correspondingly reduces unnecessary …

Abstract. This paper presents a laboratory investigation of the geotechnical properties of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). The properties of RCA were compared with state road authority requirements to assess its performance as a pavement sub-base material. The experimental programme included tests such as particle size distribution, modified Proctor …

Ultimately, concrete recycling saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Though the following CP-Tech-Center-curated collection of resources is not comprehensive, it does cover both best practices and the state of the …

Concrete overlays are the construction of a concrete pavement Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) or Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP) on top of the existing pavement, which can be concrete or asphalt. Since they are placed on top of existing pavements, they take advantage of the

Breaking, removing and crushing hardened concrete from an acceptable source. Old concrete pavements often are excellent sources of material for producing RCA. Concrete …

Given the diversity of pavement structures, which can include cement concrete, asphalt mixtures, granular crushed rock and natural gravels, the opportunities for sustainable pavement construction ...

A novel approach has been used to simulate the true field performance of cement-stabilized recycled concrete aggregate in pavement bases using a unique, large-scale, fully instrumented pavement model tank (PMT). Vertical deformation and horizontal strains were measured under cyclic loading conditions that simulate traffic loading in the PMT ...

Utilizing alternate aggregates is crucial for conserving resources, promoting sustainability, and managing waste effectively. The focus of the current study was the utilization of ferrochrome aggregate (FCA) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in cement-treated base layers with the objective of entirely replacing natural coarse aggregate (NCA).

The research explores the performance of ambient-cured alkali-activated pavement-quality concrete (AAPQC), chosen as an environmentally friendly alternative to the water cured cement concrete, with the CRAs as the alternative to the traditional NA. ...

The foregoing study presents a state of knowledge review referring to the use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) when these are used in the manufacturing of asphalt mixtures (mainly hot-mix asphalt HMA type). ... among others), construction and demolition wastes (CDW), recycled aggregate concretes (RCA), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP ...

This approach, however, may not be an environmentally friendly solution due to the high carbon footprint involved in the production of Portland cement. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), on the other hand, has been widely accepted in pavement applications.

Besides, the recycled concrete pavement may cause more negative effects in the use and maintenance stage of pavement life (Shi et al., 2019). However, it avoids the high purchasing and transportation costs of NCA in today's market conditions. Moreover, government departments have provided certain subsidies for the resource utilization of ...

Reuse of recycled aggregate in the production of alkali-activated concrete. P. Chindaprasirt, T. Cao, in Handbook of Alkali-Activated Cements, Mortars and Concretes, 2015 19.2 A brief discussion on recycled aggregates. Recycled aggregate is defined as aggregate resulting from the processing of inorganic or mineral material previously used in construction (BS EN 12620, …

Recycled concrete has often been used to make concrete structures such as buildings, rigid pavements and runaways. Furthermore, it is employed in a variety of transportation infrastructure applications. Researchers and engineers all over the world have investigated incorporating recycled concrete as an aggregate in (HMA).

Using recycled pavement as aggregate in new concrete mixes can save money and promote environmental sustainability. New design methods published in a new research report allow engineers to create more durable mixes from recycled aggregate than in the past, reducing the need for aggregate, a diminishing and expensive resource.

This paper assesses the feasibility of recycled mortar aggregate (RMA) in pavement concrete applications requiring superior resistance to weathering and wearing effects.
