The Possibility Of Using The Recycled Concrete Aggregates In Hot Mix Asphalt


Abstract in English

The recycled concrete aggregate RCA was able to take the place of the vierge & natural aggregate NA, embankments elected,to implement the base&subbase road layaers and airports in many country of the world.furthermore, there is almost consensus by a large of reshershers and scholars about the possibility of using RCA in mix cement concrete for non-structural elements .whil,the using of RCA in the hot mix asphalt HMA still under discussion and debate, due its high porosity , high water absorption, and its heterogeneity which reflected negatively on the mechanical and physical properties of the HMA This research discusses stadying the possibility of using the recycled concrete aggregates in hot mix asphalt HMA, for the implementation of the bas layer bituminous road , by the application of the marshall tests on hot mixtures asphalts have ben prepared using different ratios of recycled concrete aggregates. The results of marshall testes showed that the HMA prepared with amount of recycled concrete aggregates less than 50%,can be used to implement the base layer bituminous road,according to the general terms and specifications book for road works and bridges in the syrien arab republic.
