Abstract

Every year, a large volume of waste materials are produced in the world, however a very small part of it take place in recycling and reusing. Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is a waste material which may have undesirable influence on its environment. Considering these materials reported characteristics, there have been introduced different strategies to reuse RAP’s. One of these applications recently noticed by the researchers is using RAP’s in cement mixtures such as concrete. As RAP is mainly gathered from roadsides and highways, so it is desirable to use them in common mixtures for roads pavement construction. Hence, Roller Compacted Concrete -a concrete mixture with unique features such as ease of application and low costs - was selected as basic mixture. In this research, after introducing two mixing ratios with two designing strengths, replacing a part of aggregates with RAPs was carried out in three states: 1-with fine and coarse aggregates, 2-with just fine aggregates, and 3-with just coarse aggregates, with ratios of 0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 %. Then, in the next step regression models with acceptable correlation coefficients were presented for prediction of compressive strength as well as allowable percentages of RAP aggregate to use in the concrete. Valid using other types of RAPs was another work conducted in this research.
