Asphalt concrete is used in the surface layer of road paving and is widely used around the
world. Asphalt concrete consists of coarse aggregate , fine aggregate, filler and asphalt
binder. Fly ash FA is one of the main wastes of coal-fired thermal
and coal-fired power
plants and is available in large quantities and has no use. The aim of this study is to
evaluate the possibility of using fly ash as a filler material in hot asphalt mixtures and to
use it as an alternative to natural fillers by performing laboratory work in which the asphalt
mixture is designed and the optimal ratio of asphalt is determined . Then replace the filler
material with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% with fly ash . The results showed that Marshall's
stability values increased with increased replacement ratio and observed that Marshall's
hardness values were decreased while remaining within the tolerable limits of the
specifications. The study concluded that fly ash can be used as a filler in asphalt mixtures.
The Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) offers a different concept in the creation of pavement and concrete dams it’s dry Beaton (Zero Abrams slump), with a low water content, and includes of dense mix consisting of graded coarse aggregate, and cementati
ons materials, and water, this makes it so difficult to compact it in big thicknesses layers without using large energy rollers compactors. concrete conveys by trucks, placed and compacted by using equipment asphalt pavement. The main advantage of this technique is in reducing the completion time and cost savings in labor and the possibility of replacing traditional materials in road paving. It also provides a solid surface smooth and polished, and would facilitate the operations of traffic expected in all circumstances and various factors such as axial loads and environmental conditions.
This paper presents a new technology for the manufacture of Roller compacted concrete samples by applying a mechanism of Vibro-compaction pressure on samples of fresh concrete. It had Been manufactured concrete samples differ from their limestone filler content, and after conducting an analytical study of the results of tests of these samples has been reached to ideal feller content for this type of concrete by reliance on the mechanical strength and speed of evolution with time as criteria for the basic design.
