Transportation access was important element on regional development which have
consequence on the environment degradation. This issues driving the land conversion,
an exploitation of natural resources and pollution. This research was conducted to
estimate the carbondioxides emission (CO2) on a road construction process. The data
collects with bottom up approaches from 16 locations of road construction in Central
Java which represents 2 pavement types (flexible and rigid). The GHG emission
estimated with a conversion of fuel consumption (IPCC Method). The estimation result
was analyze with a qualitative and quantitative method. An estimation generated the
CO2 emission of flexible pavement was 261,91 ton CO2 similar with 21,84 kgCO2/m3
while a rigid pavement produces 149,22 ton CO2 similar with 7,44 kgCO2/m3. The
manufacture process became a stages with largest contributor on the CO2 emission.
According to the result, a rigid pavement was an environmentally friendly method to
reduces GHG emission on road construction with a distribution stages plays an
important role as key categories.

Characterization of limestone waste for construction of flexible pavementeSAT Journals
Abstract
This paper reports about the survey work carried out to determine the total limestone waste generated at the quarry sites located in
seven villages of Chittapurtaluk in Gulbarga district and also experimental investigation carried out on this limestone waste to find
out its feasibility for construction of flexible pavement layers. From the survey work carried out at seven villages of Chittapurtaluka it
was observed that about 70 lakh tonnes of waste would be produced every year. Characterization of this limestone waste by
conducting laboratory studies to find out its feasibility for road construction would help to reduce the demand-supply gap for
aggregates, conserve depleting sources of good quality stone aggregate and decrease environmental degradation due to excessive
quarrying activities. Laboratory investigation includes determination of physical properties of limestone waste aggregates,
preparation of job mix formulae for Granular Sub Base (GSB) and Wet Mix Macadam (WMM) layers, Modified proctor compaction
test to evaluate maximum dry density and optimum moisture content on WMM and GSB mixes, CBR test and Direct Shear test on GSB
mixes. Laboratory results were compared with conventional Basalt aggregates. Results reveals that lime stone aggregates fulfill the
requirements of MoRT&H-2001 and can completely replace the conventional aggregate like Basalt in GSB and WMM layers.

aggregates.Since the 80s, researches are based on the type of the recycled (concrete aggregates,
remains aggregates , glass, rubbers…) and the percentage of it compared to natural aggregates to
study the influence on the basic characteristics of concrete..
The main characteristics studied are the porosity of the concrete, the tensile strength and the compressive
strength. In comparison with natural aggregates, concrete based on recycled aggregates has
lower resistance values of approximately 20% but has better thermal characteristics than about 5% .These
characteristics are basic for the dimensioning especially of the carrier elements so they are demanding
bettertechnical and experimental studies to determine the optimum proportion of recycled aggregates for use in
the preparation of concrete.

Partially Replacement of Clay by S.T.P. Sludge in Brick ManufacturingAM Publications
In many countries, sludge is a serious problem due to its high treatment costs and the risks to environment and human health. The sludge presents increasingly difficult problem to cities of all sizes because of the scarcity of suitable disposal sites, increasing labour costs, and environmental concerns. The study investigated the use of water treatment sludge incorporated with clay. In this study bricks were produced with sewage sludge additions ranging from 20, 25, 30 and 40% by dry weight respectively and compare produce brick with regular brick. Bricks with a sludge content of up to 40 % were capable of meeting the relevant technical standards. However, if bricks with more than 30 % sludge addition are not recommended for use because they are brittle in nature and easily broken even when handled gently as well as colour is not as per the requirement. Also from this investigation me can solve disposal problem completely and also construct and economical structure with easy designing.
Eco friendly construction techniques are gaining immense importance nowadays. Many innovations have
come in pavement construction and design. The use of reclaimed aggregates in constructing pavements is
one among them. Reclaimed aggregates come mainly from two sources - construction & demolition waste
and asphalt pavements. The optimized use of reclaimed aggregates along with fresh aggregates helps
decrease construction cost without compromising strength and durability. It also minimizes the use of
virgin aggregate and helps decrease crude oil import for producing paving bitumen. Reclaimed material is
first crushed and screened before using. Tests are then conducted to analyse its properties. Only those
batches which satisfy standard conditions are used. Reclaimed aggregate pavements hence help pavement
rehabilitation with minimum energy expenditure. This paper deals with the tests on reclaimed aggregate
and their property study. The various sources and means of retrieving aggregate from reclaimed material
are also dealt with.
A Documentation on Construction and Demolition wasteRohanDas52
Despite being an ancient activity, the management of waste produced in construction activities
did not get much attention until the last decade. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is not
subjected to management practices as with municipal solid waste (MSW), perhaps due to the
higher toxicity of the latter as compared with the former. Recently, rapid urban expansion,
stringent environmental regulations, and the scarcity of land filling areas as well as the natural
resources over-exploitation led to the need of using CDW as aggregate for construction purposes.
CDW contains significant amounts of inert materials whose properties are being investigated and
which have been recognized for use as aggregate, although significant differences exist when
compared to conventional natural aggregates (NA). The use of recycled concrete waste-based
aggregates in new concrete is a way of maximizing the economic benefits of CDW and, even
though it has been the subject of study for a long time, opinions are still not consensual. As
expected, concrete made with recycled aggregates (RA) has different characteristics from those
of conventional concrete, and these differences are strongly dependent on the type and quality of
the aggregates used.

Abstract: Environmental issues such as climate change and associated global warming, depletion of natural resource and biodiversity, water and soil pollution, generation of huge amount of waste materials and their disposal are some of great challenges faced by present day civilization. Recycling of materials and reuse of the material is very important. Recycled concrete aggregates are used in concrete in replacement of nominal concrete aggregates 20mm and grit aggregates, replacement of 50%. Different various percentage of aggregate replacement gives optimum replacement content 50% in mix design of M20 without admixture using. Cubes are curing in sea water solution and H2SO4 + HCl acid solution. After duration of 28 day, 56 day and 90 day considering mass loss of 0.07633%, 0.157% and 8.4767% recycled aggregates to nominal cubes for acid curing, and strength will achieved at end of 28 days and 56 day, strength is decreased 4% and at the end of 90 days strength will decreased 4% and same as mass loss. The porosity and voids are generated due to curing of specific condition.
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NORMAL CONCRETE PARTIALLY REPLACED WITH CRUSHED...IAEME Publication
The quantities of clay bricks in our nation have been on the increase significantly (approx. 45.9tonnes annually in Nairobi) without consideration for potential reuse or recycling increasing the risk to public health due to the scarcity of waste landfill. This growing problem can be alleviated if new disposal options other than landfill can be found. However, increased construction activity and continuous dependence on conventional materials of concrete are also leading to scarcity of the construction material resulting to increased construction cost. This study aims at replacing the past research work on the use of clay bricks aggregate as possible partial substitute for conventional coarse aggregate in concrete.

1. Introduction
Around 95% of roads in the UK are paved with asphalt mixtures (IAT, 2000). The
construction and maintenance of these roads require large amounts of aggregates, which
typically account for more than 90% by weight of the asphalt mixtures. It is estimated that
in 1999 the UK produced some 26 million tonnes (Mt) of hot mix asphalt (HMA) (EAPA,
2004), which can lead to the assumption that some 20 Mt of aggregates were consumed.
The Highways Agency alone uses about 15 Mt of aggregates annually on its managed trunk
roads and motorways in England (Highway Agency, 2003). Meanwhile across England
and Wales, some 48 Mt of industrial, 30 Mt of commercial, and 28 Mt of municipal waste
were generated, a considerable percentage (industrial: 47%; commercial: 66%; municipal:
83%) was sent to landfills (DETR, 2000b). Such resource management does not seem to be
in line with the country’s strategy for sustainable construction that requires for protecting
the environment and minimising the consumption of natural resources (DETR, 2000a).
There is concern that high specification aggregates from UK permitted extractions could
be exhausted as early as 2020 (Parker, 2004). The situation seems even more urgent for
approved landfill sites, as they are expected to run out of space in the next 5–10 years
(Environmental Agency, 2006).1 Based on such pressures, the UK government introduced
the Landfill Tax in 1996 and the Aggregates Levy in 2002.
The use of secondary (recycled), instead of primary (virgin), materials helps easing
landfill pressures and reducing demand of extraction. This is one way of getting the road
construction industry on track towards sustainable construction practices. Current research
and practice tends to concentrate on the use of waste materials in the lower courses (base,
sub-base, etc.) of the road as these absorb materials in larger quantities than the upper
courses. However, highway authorities in the UK are dealing more with the maintenance
and repair works rather than new construction of roads. Such works are affecting mainly the
upper pavement layers (see Fig. 1). In addition, it can be argued that the cost of transporting
and processing waste materials into desired properties can only be justified by using the recy-
cled materials in value added applications such as asphalt surface layers. Thus, the property

requirements for these applications need to be understood to ensure that materials intended
for recycling are able to meet relevant specifications, by using available technologies and
facilities, at a reasonable cost.
2. Waste arising and management of solid waste materials
Secondary aggregates can be defined as by-products from industrial processes or other
human activities. In 1999, industrial, commercial and municipal solid waste accounted
for approximately 13%, 6% and 8%, respectively, of total solid waste materials (SWM)
produced in the UK (DETR, 2000b). Of those waste materials a large fraction might have
the potential to be used in road or building construction projects. Waste glass, steel slag,
tyres and plastics are selected for this study; and surface layers (surface and binder course)
of asphalt pavements are considered here as value application which are described in further
detail below.
2.1. Waste glass
It is estimated by Waste Resources Action Program (WRAP, 2004) that in 2003, some
3.4 Mt of glass entered the UK’s waste stream of which some 2.4 Mt (71%) was container
glass, 0.76 Mt (23%) was flat (or window) glass and the remaining 0.24 Mt was other glass.
The recycling rate for container and flat glass was 36% and 30%, respectively. In total, some
1.1 Mt (33%) of waste glass was recycled, among which 0.73 Mt (66%) was fed to glass
container manufacturers and 0.14 Mt (13%) used as secondary aggregates. The majority
of 2.3 Mt (67%) of waste glass was disposed to landfills. The EU Directive on packaging
waste (EU, 1994) however, has set a UK recycling target of 60% by 2008 for waste glass
(British Glass, 2004).
The lack of sufficient infrastructure for waste glass collection is thought to be the main
reason for sending the majority to landfills and recycling only a third in the UK (British Glass,
2005).2 The recycling infrastructure serves not only as a passive container of recyclable
wastes, but as a visual motivation that influences people’s recycling habit (Gonzalez-Torre
et al., 2003). Currently in the UK, packaging recovery notes (PRNs) are issued as an incentive
to glass recycling, and the value of PRNs is suggested to be raised to cover the recycling cost
(WRAP, 2004). Glass can be recycled indefinitely without loss of product quality (British
Glass, 2004). Returning recycled cullet to a glassmaking plant saves energy and mineral
resources in great quantity (Edwards and Schelling, 1999; Krivtsov et al., 2004). Using waste
glass as an aggregate might not save as much energy or mineral resources as it does with
glass making (Grantthornton and Oakdenehollins, 2006), but the colour imbalance between
glass production and waste arising may encourage seeking alternative markets for waste
glass in aggregates applications (WRAP, 2004). Attempts to use recycled glass in concrete,
another value application, have to deal with the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) because of the
abnormally high content (≥70%) of reactive silica in the glass (FHWA, 1997). In addition

4. Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73 61
to the described recycling processes, waste glass can be utilised as an aggregate in asphalt
road construction should the technical specification as described later are being met.
2.2. Steel slag
The amount of steel slag can be estimated based on the output from steel production
process, assuming that the process is stable and the rate of slag generation consistent.
According to US NSA (National Slag Association), steel slag accounts for 7.5–15% of
steel produced (NSA, 2001). The marketable slag is estimated by USGS (US Geological
Survey) at a rate of 10–15% steel production (USGS, 2001). One advantage of recycling
steel slag is that it can be collected from a low number of steel plants, making the collection
more efficient than that of most other solid waste materials. In addition, it is relatively easy
to control and achieve a consistent quality of this waste material. UK transport research
laboratory reported that some 1 Mt of basic oxygen steel (BOS) slag is produced annually
in the UK, with about 4 Mt in stockpiles (TRL, 2003). Owing to decades of research and
practice, UK has now achieved a 100% recycling rate for steel slag, 98% of which are used
as aggregates, mainly in concrete and asphalt (ODPM, 2002). The UK’s steel production
saw a decline from some 18 Mt in 1997 to not even reaching 12 Mt in 2002, before rising
to 13.3 Mt in 2003, with further increase expected in the coming years (UK Steel, 2005).3
Although 100% of steel slag is recycled the application in asphalt pavements is valued due
to its properties as described later.
2.3. Tyres
It is estimated by TRL that the UK generates over 0.44 Mt of waste tyres per annum.
About 21% is shredded and used as raw materials for other processes, 22% sent for energy
recovery, and around 34% is disposed to landfills, stockpiles or illegal dumps where it is
mixed with other waste making the recovery difficult (Viridis and TRL, 2002; Viridis and
TRL, 2003). Approximately 40,000 t (or 9%) is combusted in cement kilns, as scrap tyres
have a comparable energy value to coal, and have been used as a cement making fuel in the
last decade or so (Bluecircle, 2003; UTWG, 2002). According to TRL, the high processing
cost is responsible for the growth of unregulated tyres disposal (Viridis and TRL, 2003).
European Tyre Recycling Association (ETRA) estimated the transport cost of waste tyres
at about £1/tonne/km in average (Shulman, 2000). Use of scrap tyres in asphalt or other
pavement applications, although technically viable (see Section 4.3), needs to be subsidised
in order to compete with conventional aggregates (Washington DOT, 2003) in meeting the
technical requirements for asphalt pavements.
2.4. Plastics
About 2.8 Mt of waste plastics is generated per annum in the UK. Most of those recycled
are from industrial and commercial sources; recycling from domestic sources (e.g. bottles)

5. 62 Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73
is more difficult, for economic reasons (TRL, 2004). A future increase in recycling relies
on the successful recycling of plastics mixed with other waste, and the support from robust
environmental assessment method (British Plastics Federation, 2005,4 Patel et al., 2000).
Similar to tyre rubber, a significant means of recovery of plastics waste is to retrieve the
thermal content (38 MJ/kg), comparing favourably to that of coal (31 MJ/kg) and reducing
energy use as well as CO2 emissions (British Plastics Federation, 2005,5 Patel et al., 2000).
Data from UK WRAP indicate that about 0.4 Mt of waste plastics generated each year
is suitable for aggregates use. Presently only 0.008 Mt is being recycled for that purpose.
Recycled plastics are mainly used in the form of street furniture, insulation, ducts and pipes,
etc. Very little so far is used in pavement construction (WRAP, 2003a). Similar to glass, the
low PRN is blamed for such low recycling levels (DTI, 2004). Although plastic packaging
accounts for most waste plastics recycled in the UK, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is among
the main types that have the lowest recycling rate (WRAP, 2003c). Financial incentives are
believed to be more effective than specifications in affecting the recycling activity (WRAP,
2003b). Thus plastics used in asphalt pavements may provide an important outlet for such
materials.
3. Property requirements for materials in asphalt pavements
3.1. Property requirements for aggregates
A European standard (BSEN13043, 2002) for the specification of aggregates for use
in asphalt was introduced in 2004 into the UK market. This standard specifies aggregates
in terms of technical requirements alongside relevant test methods. Therefore recycled
materials that are intended for aggregates use in asphalt mixtures are subject to the same
requirements for property classification and testing as are virgin aggregates. Pavement
engineers are now responsible for defining categories for aggregates properties relevant
to their specific applications, as well as benchmarking the quarrying industry and other
material suppliers. Selected requirements for aggregates in surface layers asphalt are shown
in Table 1.
3.2. Property requirements for asphalt
In order to withstand tyre and weather, pavement surface layers contain the strongest
and most expensive materials in road structures. Characteristics they exhibit like friction,
strength, noise and ability to drain off surface water are essential to vehicles’ safety and
riding quality. Some are already associated with a standard test method (BSEN13036, 2002).
Apart from the nature of component binder and aggregates, asphalt performance strongly
depends on the mixture type. Selection of a type for surface layers has to consider a multitude

Thermal and weathering BS EN1367 Water absorption, magnesium sulphate value
of factors including traffic, climate, condition of existing surface, and economics. No single
mixture type could provide all the desired properties, often some are improved at the expense
of others, making the selection difficult and contentious.
Stone mastic asphalt (SMA), porous asphalt or open graded friction course (OGFC) have
a reputation for low tyre noise and high resistance to rutting and skidding, and are therefore
preferred to hot rolled asphalt (HRA) for road surface that is subject to heavy traffic in
terms of volume and loading (NAPA and FHWA, 2000). For both mixture types, a number
of properties are required of the component (particularly the coarse) aggregates such as
PSV, resistance to fragmentation, affinity with bitumen, etc. Dense bituminous macadam
(DBM) is commonly used in binder course and base.
4. Performance of asphalt pavements containing recycled SWM
4.1. Waste glass
Satisfactory performance has been observed of asphalt pavements containing 10–15%
crushed glass in surface course mixtures. 4.75 mm is the maximum size commonly accepted
considering a range of engineering properties including safety issues (skin cut, tyre puncture)
for that application. Anti-strip agent, typically 2% hydrated lime, is added to retain the
stripping resistance. Glass in asphalt of higher content and larger size is reported to have led
to a number of problems such as insufficient friction and bonding strength, and is considered
more suitable for use in lower courses. In practice, the same manufacturing equipment and
paving method designed for conventional asphalt can be used for asphalt containing recycled
glass (Airey et al., 2004; CWC, 1996; FHWA, 1997; Maupin, 1997; Maupin, 1998; Su and
Chen, 2002). RMC (now CEMEX) UK has been using recycled glass in DBM for binder
course and base, with a 30% replacement rate. Twenty millimeters seems to be the maximum
size of processed glass particles. In 2002, hot mix asphalt (HMA) containing 10% recycled
glass sand was used in a pilot resurfacing project by Tarmac Situsec. Economics in these
UK applications is reported to be ‘cost neutral’ (WRAP, 2005).6
4.2. Steel slag
The angular shape, hardness and roughly textured surface give steel slag the ability
to substitute coarse aggregates in asphalt where mix stability (resistance to rutting) and
6 Case studies from AggRegain, WRAP: http://www.aggregain.org.uk/index.html accessed on 10 March 2005.

skid-resistance are concerned. Collaborative research was carried out by US Strategic
Highway Research Program (SHRP) and University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi
Arabia. It was found that mix durability (resistance to moisture, fatigue) was improved
when coarse slag aggregates were supplemented with limestone filler and fine aggre-
gates, and the bitumen prepared using polymer modification (Bagampadde et al., 1998;
Khan and Wahhab, 1998). In 1994, trial section of asphalt containing 30% steel slag was
laid in Oregon, followed by a 5-year field inspection of ride and skid performance. The
trial section did not exhibit as expected higher rutting and skid resistance than control
mixture. The report attributed the lack of measurable increase to the low content and
small size (6.3–12.7 mm) of slag particles, and it mentioned the economic disadvantage
of using slag aggregates due to increased mix density (implying higher transport cost)
and mixing temperature (implying higher energy use) (Oregon DOT, 2000). UK TRL
reported based on a 3-year investigation, that BOS slag produced from main UK sources
can be used in pavement surface where a minimum PSV of 60 is required. Although
the report suggested that when assessing the anti-skid properties of asphalt made with
slag aggregates, traditional PSV test should give way to ‘known in-service performance
under comparable situations’ (TRL, 2003). Nottingham Centre for Pavement Engineering
(NCPE) studied the mechanical (stiffness modulus, resistance to permanent deformation,
resistance to fatigue cracking) and durability (aging susceptibility, moisture susceptibility)
performance of asphalt containing slag aggregates. Seventy one percent coarse steel slag
particles were mixed with 21% fine BFS aggregates in SMA surfacing. Stiffness modu-
lus was enhanced compared with control mixture made of gritstone, while mix density
and aging susceptibility also increased (Airey et al., 2004). Steel slag (≥9.5 mm) after
3 years of aging (7 days expansion below 1%) replacing 62% of basalt aggregates was
used in SMA mixtures in China laboratory, resulting in improved surface performance
(texture, friction, etc.), resistance to rutting and low temperature cracking (Wu et al.,
2007).
The Research Association of Iron and Steel Slags (FEhS, Germany) studies confirmed
that BOS slag asphalt exhibit superiority in bearing and anti-polishing performance over
asphalt made with established premium aggregates (basalt, flint gravel, etc.). Volumetric
stability and leaching behaviour caused the most concerns. Precautionary treatment was
practised at the steel plant to reduce the free CaO/MgO content of steel slag before use
as aggregates; and mandatory leaching test twice a year was required for use in roads and
hydraulic structures (Motz and Geiseler, 2001). European standard permits the use of steel
slag in asphalt provided the 7 days volumetric expansion is no more than 3.5% (BSEN13043,
2002).
4.3. Scrap tyres
Use of tyre rubber in asphalt generally has two distinct approaches. One is to dissolve
crumb rubber in the bitumen as binder modifier, the other to replace a portion of fine
aggregates with ground rubber that is not fully reacted with the bitumen. These are referred
to as the ‘wet process’ and the ‘dry process’, respectively. Modified binder from the ‘wet
process’ is termed ‘asphalt rubber’; asphalt made by the ‘dry process’ is ‘rubberised asphalt’
(FHWA, 1997).
8. Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73 65
4.3.1. The wet process
In the wet process, crumb rubber (0.15–0.6 mm) is blended with bitumen for a minimum
of 45 min at elevated temperature prior to contact with aggregates, usually in the range
of 18–22% bitumen weight (Hicks, 2002). Light fractions of bitumen transfer into the
rubber making the rubber particles swell and the bitumen harden. The binder viscosity is
increased allowing for additional bitumen to be used, which in theory can help reduce top-
down thermal cracking and bottom-up reflective cracking, and improve mix durability (e.g.
resistance to moisture, oxidation and fatigue).
The modification effect can be influenced by a number of factors including the base
bitumen composition, blending time and temperature, percentage and gradation of crumb
rubber, and the grinding method (FHWA, 1997; West et al., 1998). These variables were
studied following the SUPERPAVE (SUperior PERforming asphalt PAVEment) method
at NCPE and US Texas DOT (Department of Transportation) (Airey et al., 2003; Texas
DOT, 2000). FHWA believe that rubber particles in the ‘wet process’ will reduce resilient
modulus of the asphalt mixture, and therefore its resistance to permanent deformation
(FHWA, 1997). The opposite was observed in Brazil and India where the asphalt rubber
mixture had lower rutting potential because of higher stiffness and tensile strength at high
temperatures (Bertollo et al., 2004; Palit et al., 2004). As for low temperature performance, a
study at Kansas State University (KSU) suggested an 18–22% of rubber content, and stated
that a change within this range was less significant in affecting the tensile and fracture
performance of the asphalt than varying the binder content between 6 and 9% (Hossain et
al., 1999). This was confirmed by Arizona State University (ASU) that longer fatigue life
exhibited by asphalt rubber mixture came from the higher binder content (Zborowski et al.,
2004). University of Liverpool had the permissible rubber (0.3–0.6 mm) content set at 10%
of binder containing pen-50 or pen-100 bitumen. Resistance to rutting, fracture and fatigue
was increased as a result (Khalid and Artamendi, 2006).
Projects also revealed problems from the use of asphalt rubber in road surface. Bleed-
ing and loss of coarse aggregates were observed on a Virginia SAM (stress absorbing
membrane) trial section containing 20% crumb rubber in the binder, and the SAM did
not hinder reflective cracking as expected (Maupin and Payne, 1997). A chip seal (or sur-
face dressing) project in Iowa showed that the asphalt rubber compromised the friction
performance (Iowa DOT, 2002). A project in Texas indicated that OGFC represented the
best application for asphalt rubber in terms of cost, resistance to cracking and raveling
(Tahmoressi, 2001). NCPE suggested that asphalt rubber not be used in polymer modified
bitumen (PMB), because the PMB-rubber interaction compromised the rheological prop-
erties of the aged binder and as a result, the durability of asphalt mixtures (Airey et al.,
2002).
The design method for conventional HMA can be used for asphalt rubber mixtures,
with mix stability being the primary design factor. A rule of thumb is that if 20% crumb
rubber is used in the binder, the binder content would be 20% higher than conventional.
The binder content is recommended even higher in spray applications, for instance 45%
higher in stress absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI) than that required for conventional
asphalt. Placement of asphalt rubber mixtures can be accomplished using standard paving
machinery except for pneumatic tyre roller as asphalt rubber will stick onto the roller tyres
(Epps, 1994). The main concerns include the narrowed paving temperature window (e.g.
9. 66 Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73
no laying with ambient temperature below 13 ◦ C), and potential toxic emissions (see the
paragraph below) (Hicks, 2002).
Noise studies at Rubber Pavements Association (RPA) found that the use of tyre rubber
in open-graded mixture binder reduced tyre noise by at least 50% (Rubber Pavements
Association, 2006).7 Rubber particles of multiple sizes were believed to have a better sound
absorbing effect in spray applications (Zhu and Carlson, 1999). By 1995 there was no
such sign that mixing and paving asphalt rubber materials impose additional environmental
burdens than conventional asphalt (Emery, 1995). More recent leaching test at Oregon State
University (OSU) indicated that about 50% of leachate contaminants from asphalt rubber
mixtures were released into surface and ground water system within the first few days
after laying, with benzothiazole, aluminum and mercury being the elements detected at
potentially harmful concentration of 0.54, 1.5 and 0.02 mg/l, respectively (Azizian et al.,
2003).
Projects in the late 1980s showed that asphalt rubber in dense-graded mixtures helped
reduce the asphalt layer thickness by 20–50% without compromising its performance (Kirk,
1991). The thickness reduction was confirmed by accelerated load testing (ALT) at Uni-
versity of California Berkeley and South Africa (Hicks, 2002). Another benefit of using
asphalt rubber is to prolong the pavement life. A project in Brazil having 15% rubber in the
HMA overlay binder found that cracking was developed 5–6 times slower than in conven-
tional asphalt; also the asphalt rubber mixture outperformed in terms of surface deflection,
interface strain and rut depth (Nunez et al., 2005). Similarly, binder of 15% rubber (size of
0.2/0.4/0.6 mm) was used in dense-graded asphalt in Japan. The mixture exhibited improved
performance in dynamic stability, 48 h residual stability, flexural strength and strain value;
and asphalt containing 0.2/0.4 mm-sized rubber showed the best laboratory results (Souza
et al., 2005). On the other hand, FHWA confirmed that the production of crumb rubber mod-
ified asphalt is normally 50–100% more expensive than producing conventional (FHWA,
1997). Practice by individual State DOT revealed a range of cost increase: 21% in Col-
orado (Harmelink, 1999), 50–100% in Virginia (Maupin, 1996), 25–75% for gap-graded
and 80–160% for open-graded in Arizona (Way, 1998), $10–$15/tonne in Oregon (Hicks,
2002), $16/tonne in California (Caltrans, 2003), to name but a few. However, life cycle
cost analysis (LCCA) was recommended by all practitioners for assessing the cost effec-
tiveness of the use of asphalt rubber, taking an analysis period of 30–40 years including
the maintenance and user cost. LCCA was conducted at ASU and OSU using the World
Bank’s Highway Development and Management model (HDM-4) and the FHWA’s LCCA
method (FHWA, 1998), respectively. According to their results, the use of asphalt rubber
was ‘cost effective’. Meanwhile, they recognised that this is not always the case, and the
results depend on many input variables which need to be studied on an individual basis
(Jung et al., 2002; Hicks and Epps, 2000).
4.3.2. The dry process
In the dry process, ground rubber (0.85–6.4 mm) substitute for fine aggregates in the
asphalt, at typically a 1–3% replacement rate.
7 Rubber Pavements Association: http://www.rubberpavements.org/library/noisereduction.asp accessed on 26
January 2006.
10. Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73 67
Asphalt properties of particular interest in the dry process include resilient modulus
and noise reduction. Where there was a 10–20% increase of binder content as required,
the resilient modulus of the rubberised asphalt was reduced implying an increase of layer
thickness, compared with conventional mixtures (FHWA, 1997). Some other laboratory
results showed a reduced permanent deformation (Reyes et al., 2005; Selim et al., 2005).
Acoustic analysis and field measurement confirmed that rubberised asphalt paving is effec-
tive in reducing traffic noise from light-duty vehicles (Sacramento County, 1999). Leaching
test indicated that rubber in sand-based root zones (typically seen in sports and recreation
fields) reduced by more than half the nitrate concentration of leachate into ground water,
by replacing traditional gravel of comparable size in the drainage layer (Lisi et al., 2004).
The design method for conventional mixtures can be used to design rubberised asphalt
containing 1–3% of ground rubber particles. A target air void of 2–4% is the primary design
factor (FHWA, 1997). The time and temperature at which the bitumen reacts with rubber
particles need to be controlled with care, to retain the physical shape and rigidity required
for the dry process. A project in Turkey found that when Marshall Stability, flow, VMA
(voids in the mineral aggregate), unit weight and VFA (voids filled with asphalt) all were
taken into consideration, the optimum technical parameters were: 0.95 mm for tyre rubber
gradation, 10% for tyre rubber ratio, 5.5% for binder ratio, 155 ◦ C for mixing temperature,
15 min for mixing time and 135 ◦ C for compaction temperature (Tortum et al., 2005).
4.3.3. Other applications in pavement structure
Tyre shreds have applications in road foundation. Compared with compacted soil, tyre
rubber is of: (1) light weight, (2) low thermal conductivity, (3) high hydraulic conductivity
and, (4) high shear strength at large strains. Leaching potential seems to be the main concern.
ASTM-D6270 and EN12457 procedures are followed in the States and Europe, respectively,
to measure and characterise the leachate. Constituent analysis of tyre sample indicated that
although it contained leachable hydrocarbons (e.g. PAH), metals (e.g. zinc) and respira-
tory dust, the released concentration was not of a concern to human health or surrounding
environment under normal operating conditions (e.g. open air, neutral pH value) (Edeskar,
2004). Tyre rubber used in lower pavement layers can help reduce the depth of frost pene-
tration in winter time. Processing of scrap tyres has a by-product: waste fibre, which was
added into SMA mixtures to prevent the ‘drain down’ of bitumen from aggregates, without
compromising deformation resistance or moisture susceptibility of the mixture in which
traditional stabilising additives like cellulose or mineral fibre are commonly used (Putman
and Amirkhanian, 2004).
4.4. Plastics
Similar to tyre rubber, recycled plastics can either replace a portion of aggregates, or
serve as a binder modifier. DBM with recycled plastics, mainly low density polyethylene
(LDPE) replacing 30% of 2.36–5 mm aggregates, reduced the mix density by 16% and
showed a 250% increase in Marshall Stability; the indirect tensile strength (ITS) was also
improved in the ‘Plastiphalt’ mixtures (Zoorob and Suparma, 2000). Recycled LDPE of
a size between 0.30 and 0.92 mm replacing 15% aggregates in asphalt surfacing nearly
doubled the Marshall quotient, and increased the stability retained (SR) by 15%, implying
11. 68 Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73
improved rutting and water resistance. A 20% increase of binder content was required in
this case (Qadir and Imam, 2005). The blending of recycled LDPE to asphalt mixtures
required no modification to existing plant facilities or technology (FHWA, 1997). Flexural
behaviour of asphalt containing recycled plastics (PVC bottle) was studied. Bending strength
was increased by adding 2–6% mixture weight of plastic particles, with further investi-
gation suggested to depict the ‘bending strength against plastics content’ curve (Ergun
et al., 2005). Recycled plastics (PE film) used at 0.4% of mixture weight (or about 8%
of binder weight) as bitumen modifier, increased the Marshall Stability before and after
water logging (60 ◦ C, 24 h) by 3.3 and 2.6 times, respectively (Justo and Veeraragavan,
2002).
5. Discussion
The use of recycled materials in roads varies across the UK (TRL, 2001). This is prob-
ably due to the difference in access to suitable natural aggregates and in the capacity of
local landfills. Other than technical barriers may exist, as for example, lack of collecting
infrastructure, alternative use of recycled SWM, limited market information and additional
cost all may inhibit the waste from being recycled into pavement asphalt. The government
encourages recycling by legislation, purchasing power and grants that are offered to com-
panies to help initiate recycling locally (QPA, 2004). The use of recycled SWM in asphalt
pavements must have a value-added prospect and is likely to be practical where there is a
consistent supply.
From a technical perspective, asphalt with well crushed glass (e.g. ≤4.75 mm) replacing
a few percent (e.g. 10–15%) of fine aggregates should not be excluded from use in asphalt
surface layers, as glass particles are ground too finely to present any safety risks, and PSV
and AAV requirements apply only to coarse aggregates in the mixtures. However, this may
pose a non-technical barrier as fine aggregates are only used in moderate amount in SMA
and OGFC, where recycled SWM that can be used in larger size (e.g. steel slag) makes a
better choice because of less processing requirements and a higher replacement rate. It is
recognised that the replacement rate should be allowed to vary to the size of glass particles,
and vice versa (Maupin, 1998).
Steel slag should be used in place of coarse aggregates in surface asphalt, to make best
use of its mechanical strength and skid resistance. Large particle size and high content are
recommended by laboratory and trial results. The main drawback is the high specific gravity
of steel slag (3.2–3.6), if used in stone-dominated mixtures like SMA or OGFC, will drive
up the overall mix density, implying an increase of transport cost. The presence of free
CaO/MgO in slag makes it liable to expand in humid condition and therefore unsuitable for
use in structures vulnerable to volumetric expansion. The common approach is to expose
the slag to spray water or natural weathering for a period of between 12 and 18 months
(Airey et al., 2004; FHWA, 1997). The time span could be reduced if chemical treatment
is performed before the slag leaves the steel plant as is the practice in Germany, although
the associated cost and environmental implication need to be further investigated. Leaching
potential is one of the main environmental concerns over the use of secondary materials
in road structures (Mroueh et al., 2001). Research in Germany has identified pH-value,

electrical conductivity and Chromium concentration in the leachate as the main concerns

In general, tyre rubber is used in asphalt mixtures to reduce cracking, improve durability
and mitigate noise. Depending on the application, different variables need to be considered
when assessing the technical performance of asphalt containing tyre rubber: binder prop-
erties in the wet process, and mixture properties in the dry process. So far, most laboratory
and field work has been focused on the ‘wet’ trial. It is generally agreed that asphalt rubber
mixtures improves durability and low-temperature performance. On high-temperature per-
formance however, there are mixed views in the United States ranging from better, similar
or comparable, to worse. Results from the ‘dry’ trial so far are of limited number, and
are as well far from conclusive. Generally, rubberised asphalt does not show significantly
improved performance to offset the additional cost (FHWA, 1997; Oregon DOT, 2002). The
wet process is more tolerant, whilst the dry process requires extra care in materials selection,
mix design and asphalt manufacture. The economic break-even point in both processes is
whether the increased cost (e.g. waste processing, higher binder usage) can be warranted
by a return through longer pavement life. Life cycle cost analysis can be helpful to find out
when and where the use of tyre rubber in asphalt is cost effective.
Recycled LDPE can substitute a portion between 15 and 30% of aggregates depending
on its particle size and if properly designed, the rutting, cracking and aging performance
of the mixture may improve as a result. Recycled PE accounting for 8% of the binder as a
bitumen modifier, can also increase the mixture’s Marshall Stability. Similar to tyre rubber
in the ‘dry process’, a number of asphalt properties when using recycled plastics are yet
to be reported, nor are certain the cost and environmental implications, due to the limited
practice so far (Table 2).
6. Conclusion and recommendation
The use of recycled materials in pavement asphalt represents a valuable outlet for such
materials. Yet value applications usually come with additional property requirements and
technical restriction. These are liable to drive up the processing cost, often higher than
that of purchasing virgin aggregates. Overcoming the many barriers, technical as well as
non-technical, requires the commitment from all stakeholders to act accordingly (WRAP,
2006). Government efforts, in most cases are important, if not essential, to provide research
13. 70 Y. Huang et al. / Resources, Conservation and Recycling 52 (2007) 58–73
and information service free from commercial restriction, and enhance the profitability of
recycling through legislation or financial incentives.
When assessing the performance of asphalt pavements containing recycled SWM, some
conditions need to be studied and specified unambiguously such as: (1) Mixture type, as
different mixtures (e.g. SMA, HRA) impose different property requirements for component
aggregates. (2) Particle size of recycled SWM and the replacement rate. (3) Nature and
processing techniques of the SWM (e.g. weathering for steel slag).
It is obvious that each recycled SWM will have more than one potential use. Recycling
materials back into its initial use (e.g. recycled glass cullet to glass making) often are
more sustainable rather than finding new applications. The responsibility for the asphalt
industry is to find the right source of SWM and use as the right components in pavement
asphalt that make sense in both technical and financial terms. Aggregates consumed by
the asphalt industry alone outweigh the total arising of the four waste materials discussed
above (around 7.6 Mt/year). Diverting other SWM to pavement use is therefore worth the
ongoing efforts that have given approval to an expanding list of recycled SWM for use in
road construction (TRL, 2004), to further ease landfill pressures and reduce the demand for
quarrying minerals.
Apart from technical and economic factors, concerns over the use of recycled SWM in
pavement asphalt also come from their potential of causing environmental burdens in road
structures, such as run-off pollutants and leaching (CIRIA, 1997; Mroueh et al., 2001).
Transport and processing of SWM into desired properties implies additional energy use
and emissions. Conflicting statements require objective environmental assessment tools that
can quantify and compare the various environmental burdens for the different construction
techniques, materials in use and maintenance options. This is highlighted when SWM
replace primary resources to achieve for example sustainable construction methods. Life
cycle assessment (LCA) emerges as a promising tool for the road sector to investigate the
environmental impacts throughout pavement life, and present the results for communication.
