ABSTRACT: Our study evaluated the feasibility of using concrete containing recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in concrete pavement applications. Concrete containing 0[percent], 10 [percent], 20[percent] and 40[percent] of RAP were produced in the laboratory, and evaluated for their properties which are relevant to performance of concrete pavements. Using the measured properties of these concretes containing RAP, finite element analysis was then performed to determine how the concretes containing different amounts of RAP would perform if it were used in a typical concrete pavement in Florida. Results of the laboratory testing program indicate that compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and elastic modulus of the concrete decrease as the percentage of RAP increases. The coefficient of thermal expansion appears to increase slightly with the use of one RAP, and decrease slightly with the use of a second RAP. The drying shrinkage appears to increase slightly with increasing RAP content. When analysis was performed to determine the maximum stresses in a typical concrete pavement in Florida under critical temperature and load conditions, the maximum stress in the pavement was found to decrease as the RAP content of the mix increases, due to a decrease in its elastic modulus. This indicates that using a concrete containing RAP can result in improvement in the performance of concrete pavements.
ABSTRACT: Abstract of Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering CONCRETE CONTAINING RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE FOR USE IN CONCRETE PAVEMENT By Patrick Amoah Bekoe August 2009 Chair: Mang Tia Major: Civil Engineering Our study evaluated the feasibility of using concrete containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in concrete pavement application. Concrete containing 0%, 25% and 50% of RCA were produced in the laboratory and their properties vital to the performance of concrete pavement evaluated. Result from the laboratory testing program indicates that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced slightly as the percentage of RCA increases. The flexural strength, splitting tensile strength and coefficient of thermal expansion is about the same for concrete containing virgin aggregate and RCA. The free shrinkage increases slightly as the percentage of RCA increases. From the measured properties, a finite element analysis was performed to determine how the concretes containing the different amounts of RCA would perform if they were used in a typical concrete pavement in Florida. The analysis from the finite element model determined the maximum stresses under critical temperature and load conditions. The potential performance of the different pavements was evaluated based on the computed maximum stress to the flexural strength ratio. The maximum stress to flexural strength ratio in the pavement was found to be about the same as the percentage of RCA increases. This indicates that RCA can be used successfully in concrete pavement without affecting the performance.

Each year, the US highway industry produces over 100 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) through the rehabilitation and construction of the nation's roads. Using RAP as aggregate in Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) is one attractive application for a further use of this recyclable material. Earlier research has demonstrated the feasibility of creating concrete with RAP aggregate; however, prior studies focus on mechanical properties of the material. This research project will further distinguish the properties of this material and draw conclusions on the concrete's aptness for use as a pavement in Montana. This thesis encompasses the development of candidate RAP in PCCP mixtures that will subsequently move forward for a more thorough evaluation of their material properties. The mixing experiment and preliminary testing phases of this project provided information to draw a number of conclusions about the appropriateness of RAP aggregate in PCCP, including: (1) using conventional practices, PCCP containing RAP aggregate (20 percent fine and 45 percent coarse) can achieve compressive strengths in excess of 3,000-psi; (2) as the RAP replacement rate is increased, the compressive strength of the concrete decreases; (3) fine RAP aggregate appears to have a more detrimental effect on the concrete than coarse aggregate; (4) concretes with a relatively high RAP replacement rate (50 percent fine and 100 percent coarse) may be suitable for transportation applications; (5) at high RAP replacement rates, there appears to be a benefit (relative to concrete strength) in using increased replacements of both fine and coarse RAP, rather than singly replacing just one aggregate gradation; and (6) concrete containing RAP displays increased flexural strengths as compared to traditional PCCP. This material research was performed using a Design of Experiments (DOE) method. The suitability of this statistical method as a mix design development tool was characterized through several important findings, which include: (1) the DOE method was effective in distinguishing mixture behaviors; (2) mix design optimization is readily accomplished using the statistical model generated from the DOE data; and (3) variability in the concrete mixing and testing processes has a significant effect on the capabilities of the statistical model.
Pavements are the most ubiquitous of all man-made structures, and they have an enormous impact on environmental quality. They are responsible for hydrocarbon pollutants, excess runoff, groundwater decline and the resulting local water shortages, temperature increases in the urban "heat island," and for the ability of trees to extend their roots in
This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment (ISAP 2019 APE Symposium), held in Padua, Italy on September 11-13, 2019. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning materials and technologies for asphalt pavements, designed for sustainability and environmental compatibility: sustainable pavement materials, marginal materials for asphalt pavements, pavement structures, testing methods and performance, maintenance and management methods, urban heat island mitigation, energy harvesting, and Life Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
Developed as a more detailed follow-up to a 2009 briefing document, Building Sustainable Pavement with Concrete, this guide provides a clear, concise, and cohesive discussion of pavement sustainability concepts and of recommended practices for maximizing the sustainability of concrete pavements. The intended audience includes decision makers and practitioners in both owner-agencies and supply, manufacturing, consulting, and contractor businesses. Readers will find individual chapters with the most recent technical information and best practices related to concrete pavement design, materials, construction, use/operations, renewal, and recycling. In addition, they will find chapters addressing issues specific to pavement sustainability in the urban environment and to the evaluation of pavement sustainability. Development of this guide satisfies a critical need identified in the Sustainability Track (Track 12) of the Long-Term Plan for Concrete Pavement Research and Technology (CP Road Map). The CP Road Map is a national research plan jointly developed by the concrete pavement stakeholder community, including Federal Highway Administration, academic institutions, state departments of transportation, and concrete pavement-related industries. It outlines 12 tracks of priority research needs related to concrete pavements. CP Road Map publications and other operations support services are provided by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University.
