Fit-for-Purpose Road Recycling? Triaxial Evaluation of Bitumen Stabilized RAP and Secondary Materials
Cold recycling technology is widely considered as a sustainable solution for road pavements; however, it is not always effectively implemented. The key to successful recycling is reliable performance evaluation (including durability) of recycled and secondary materials through the identification of the critical parameters, their tests and well defined protocols, a reliable structural design function to estimate their service life, as well as sound specification limits to measure against. This paper uses RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) and RCA (Recycled Concrete Aggregate) as two candidates for recycling in road pavements. Triaxial testing is used for performance evaluation and results are measured against reliable specification limits. Both RAP and RCA materials have boundless potential for recycling, provided that their shear properties meet the requirements.
