This document investigates replacing cement with rice husk ash in concrete. An experiment was conducted replacing 20% of cement with rice husk ash. The compressive strength at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days with 20% replacement was found to compare favorably to concrete without replacement. Using rice husk ash provides benefits like reducing greenhouse gas emissions and construction costs while utilizing an agricultural waste. The results indicate rice husk ash is a suitable partial replacement for cement in concrete.
The document discusses utilizing waste plastic in road construction. It proposes a process where plastic waste is cleaned, shredded, mixed with hot asphalt and laid down like a normal asphalt road. This creates a plastic-modified asphalt. Tests show the plastic coating improves aggregate quality and increases road strength while reducing the need for asphalt by 10%. The process reuses waste plastic while strengthening roads in an eco-friendly way. However, there are concerns about toxic chemicals leaching from the plastic during road laying and use over time.
Leaving the waste materials to the environment directly can cause environmental problem. Hence the reuse of waste material has been emphasized. Waste can be used to produce new products or can be used as admixtures so that natural resources are used more efficiently and the environment is protected from waste deposits. Marble stone industry generates both solid waste and stone slurry. Whereas solid waste results from the rejects at the mine sites or at the processing units, stone slurry is a semi liquid substance consisting of particles originating from the sawing and the polishing processes and water used to cool and lubricate the sawing and polishing machines. Stone slurry generated during processing corresponds to around 40% of the final product from stone industry. This is relevant because the stone industry presents an annual output of 68 million tonnes of processed products. Therefore the scientific and industrial community must commit towards more sustainable practices. There are several reuse and recycling solutions for this industrial by-product, both at an experimental phase and in practical applications. These industrial wastes are dumped in the nearby land and the natural fertility of the soil is spoiled. The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the waste are analyzed.

Behaviour of pavement quality concrete with reclaimed asphalt pavement aggreg...eSAT Journals
This document summarizes a study on the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates in pavement quality concrete. The study investigated how replacing natural aggregates with RAP aggregates at different percentages (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%) impacted the strength and durability properties of the concrete. Specimens were tested to determine compressive strength, flexural strength, workability and fatigue resistance. Test results showed that mixes with 25% RAP replacement achieved strength properties closest to normal concrete. A mix with 75% natural aggregate and 25% RAP aggregate was identified as a feasible option for use in concrete pavements based on its strength performance.
Self-compacting Concrete Study using Recycled Asphalt Pavement Incorporating ...IJCMESJOURNAL
This research evaluates the feasibility of using recycles asphalt pavement (RAP) and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in self consolidating concrete (SCC). The fresh, mechanical and durability properties of SCC mixtures were investigated. A total of sixteen mixtures divided into four groups with different RAP proportions: 0, 15, 30, and 55% replacing the natural coarse aggregate (NCA), and different percentages of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) replacing cement:60% Fly ash (FA), 60% ground granulated blast furnace slag (S), and 30% FA and 30% S. Constant water to cementitious materials ratio of 0.4 was maintained in all mixtures. The compressive strengths at 3, 14 and 28 days and split tensile strength at 28 days were tested. The durability characteristics including the unrestrained shrinkage strain and rapid chloride permeability (RCPT) tests were conducted. The results show that while the use of RAP reduces both the compressive and tensile strengths of SCC mixtures, it increases the resistance to chloride permeability.

Two mixes were designed using the Marshall mix design method - one without recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and one with up to 40% RAP. Cylindrical samples were tested under a constant load at high temperature to measure flow time, which indicates rutting resistance. The results showed that mixes containing RAP had higher flow times, and therefore better rutting resistance, than the mix without RAP. Specifically, mixes with 10-20% RAP showed significantly increased flow times compared to the 0% RAP mix. The study suggests using RAP can improve rutting performance of as

Comparison of Strength Characteristics of Concrete by using Fly Ash and Rice ...ijtsrd
A state of extreme landfill areas redevelopment program in many parts of the country has cause to bring the use of recycled aggregate. The low quality of recycled aggregate has limited its use to low grade applications such as roadwork sub base and pavements, while its adoption for higher grade concrete is rare because of the lower compressive strength and higher variability in mechanical performance of recycled aggregate. A new concrete mixing method, that is the two stage mixing approach TSMA , was publically recommends to improve the quality of recycled aggregate concrete RAC by splitting the mixing process into two stages. The variation of compressive strength by experimental analysis involving the new mixing method with the two stage mixing approach by proportioning ingredients with the percentage of recycled coarse aggregates RCA , fly ash and rice husk ash. Based on experiments and results, improves strength to RAC were achieved with TSMA. This can be regarded as to the porous nature of RA and the mixing process that fills up some of its pores and cracks, resulting in a denser aggregate and concrete. An improved zone of RA gives a more strength than the normal mixing approach. Purva B. Dhengare | Prof. G. D. Dhawale | Prof. R. S.

To Study the Behaviour of use Bituminous Pavement Wastes in Cement Concreteijtsrd
Generally, aggregate prepare 60 to 75 of total concrete amount, therefore the aggregate choice is crucial, and additionally they regulate concrete qualities. Aggregate offer wear resistance as well as strength. So, the aggregate selection, as well as proportioning, must need more attention. The aggregate is usually crushed rocks for example limestone, coarse gravel, maybe granite as well as good aggregate like sand or maybe stone dust. Aggregate formed Bulk pavement structure. This research paper represents a review on the utilization of bituminous pavement wastes. This can assist in obtaining economic climate in construction of road along with preserving environment friendly degradation in term of decreased amount of pollution as well as mining.

Compressive strength of concrete with fly ash, nanosilica and recycled aggregateeSAT Journals
Abstract In this study, concrete mix was prepared using recycled aggregates (RA) which were retrieved from demolished concrete blocks. Pozzolanic materials like fly ash (FA) and nanosilica (NS) were used as partial replacement of cement by weight in varying percentages i.e. 10%, 20% 30% and 2%, 3%, 4% respectively. The experimental work was focused on investigating the effect of nanosilica and fly ash on fresh properties and compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). To examine the fresh properties of concrete, slump test was performed for workability requirements. It was observed from experimental results that with the increase in percentage of recycled aggregates in concrete, compressive strength decreases but workability was not affected up to 50% variation of recycled aggregates. Results showed that with the addition of nanosilica compressive strength of concrete was increased but workability was decreased with the increase in percentage of nanosilica. The use of fly ash in addition to nanosilica (30% RA+3% NS + 10% Fly Ash) improved both the workability and compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Keywords: Compressive strength, Recycled aggregates (RA), Nanosilica (NS), Fly Ash (FA), Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC).
Feasibility study of rap as aggregates in cement concreteeSAT Journals
Abstract Concrete is the basic material in all construction works and coarse aggregates constitute more than 50% of the mix. But the procurement and generation of natural aggregates is getting difficult day by day because of lack of natural source and environmental effects. In search of alternative for natural aggregates, lead to the usage of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement aggregates, which are produced abundantly due to replacement of Flexible Pavements with Rigid Pavements in India. This study is taken up to determine the variation of different properties of strength and flexural strength of concrete with natural aggregates and RAP aggregates. The cubes will be casted and tested for Strength and Flexural Strength is also determined by casting beams. The results can be analyzed to identify the importance of RAP aggregates for its effective and efficient usage for present scenario of India. The RAP Aggregates are procured from Kanmangla flyover, Bangalore. And it is checked for the effective utilization in Concrete. RAP aggregates are replaced with Natural Aggregates by 50% and 25% and evaluated. Keywords: concrete, flexural strength, compressive strength, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP).
This document summarizes a study on using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) from demolished structures as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate in new concrete. The study found that concrete made with 100% RCA had 87% of the compressive strength of concrete made with only natural aggregates. Using saturated surface dry RCA improved the workability and slump of recycled aggregate concrete compared to dry RCA. Additional cement was needed to achieve strength similar to concrete with natural aggregates only. The aim was to utilize construction waste as a resource in new concrete production.
This study investigated using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) from demolished structures as coarse aggregate in new concrete. Tests found that concrete with 100% RCA had 87% of the compressive strength of concrete with natural coarse aggregate at 28 days. The slump of RCA concrete was also lower but could be improved by using saturated surface dry RCA. Additional cement was needed for 100% RCA concrete to achieve similar workability and strength as natural aggregate concrete. The results show that while RCA concrete has lower strength and workability, it can still produce adequate quality concrete and promotes more sustainable construction practices through resource reuse.

A literature review found that bagasse ash and silica fumes can improve concrete properties when substituting cement up to 20%, and recycled aggregates can substitute natural aggregates up to 30% without reducing strength. The current study tested concrete mixes with 5-15% replacements of bagasse ash and silica fumes, and 15-45% replacements of recycled aggregates. Test results showed the maximum compressive and split tensile strengths were achieved with 10% bagasse ash, 10% silica fumes, and 30% recycled aggregates.
IRJET - Experimental and Analytical Study on High Strength Concrete (M70)...IRJET Journal
This document presents the results of an experimental study on high-strength concrete (M70) using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Tests were conducted to determine the effect of different percentages (10%, 20%, 30%) of coarse RCA on the concrete's compressive strength, durability, and engineering properties. The results showed that replacement of up to 30% coarse RCA had no effect on concrete strength, but higher percentages led to gradual strength reductions. However, with adjustments to the water-cement ratio, high-strength concrete with RCA can achieve equivalent performance to concrete with natural aggregates. The study aims to establish RCA concrete as a viable and sustainable construction material.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Introduction
1.1 General
Despite asphalt being an integral part of human society for over 6,000 years and modern
society for over a century, many complexities of asphalt pavement still elude researchers. In
particular, this research focuses on the ability to recycle spent asphalt pavement and
aggregates into new pavements. When old asphalt pavement is in need of maintenance or
replacing, the old material can be mechanically ground and then reused as a substitute for raw
materials in new roads. This old, recyclable material is known as reclaimed asphalt pavement
(RAP). Nowadays the use of RAP as secondary material in the production of asphalt mixes
has become a norm and a cost effective method of pavement construction and rehabilitation.
Utilizing reclaimed asphalt pavement is found to be very beneficial from the technical,
economical, and environmental perspectives. Some of the advantages include reduced waste,
preservation of the existing pavement geometric, conservation of energy and reduction in life-
cycle cost. Many laboratory and field studies have shown that asphalt mixtures containing
RAP performed similar if not better than conventional asphalt materials in terms of indirect
tensile strength, moisture susceptibility, permanent deformation and fatigue. However,

11. [EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF RAP MODIFIED
ASPHALT BINDER AND CRUSHED RAP AGGREGATES ] 2017-2018
AIKTC-School Of Engineering, New-Panvel. Page 2
research has also shown that RAP inclusion can have a negative effect on the fatigue
resistance of the mixture.
Using RAP in hot mix asphalt applications could possibly present a lower performance due to
the behaviour of the aged binder, which loses its lighter fractions with time. In order to
improve the mixture properties, a binder could be used. This allows the modification of the
aged binder, restoring some of its original properties and promoting an adequate performance
of the mixture.
The use of RAP and its effects on the performance of the new pavement is well documented
and the use of RAP without modification is known to produce an overall stiffer asphalt
pavement.
The main concern is the efficiency of RAP binder blended with virgin binder and rejuvenating
agent in a paving mixture and the stripping of the binder from the aggregate.
1.2 Rationale for taking up the proposed project work
Asphalt is produced by fractional distillation of crude oil. Crude oil originates from the
remains of marine organisms and vegetable matter deposited with mud and fragments of the
rock on the ocean bed. Cost is an important factor in terms of recyclability and reuse of
material and can be an incentive to use such material. The construction industry will certainly
recognize the economic benefits of using recycled materials, such as crushed RAP aggregates
for base courses of the pavements. The cost-effectiveness of substituting conventional
aggregate with recycled materials is highly dependent on the location, the quality and cost of
local aggregates. Recycling versus tipping fees and distances to landfills are other important
aspects for the feasibility of recycling. In some urban areas recycling can be more profitable
than in rural areas. In rural areas recycling can be expensive and impractical due to high
transportation cost and the lack of nearby materials. On the other hand, if materials are
available, reuse of materials that otherwise have to be transported can be very cost effective

1.3 Impact of Waste Bitumen
In India, the recycling of pavement materials and studies related to the performance of the
recycled materials have not been to the extent that it should have been. Bitumen being a major
binding material for paving has been given less importance. Fewer attempts have been made
to study and understand the properties of the bitumen. Bitumen grading is practiced on the
basis of penetration test which is conducted at a temperature of 25°C and does not indicate
viscous/elastic behaviour of bitumen at this test temperature. The most common problem
associated with the bitumen handling and recycling is the ageing effect, which in turn affects
the binding property and the performance of bituminous pavements.
The production of demolition and construction waste has been increasing at a gradual rate in
recent years. The amount of landfill available to contain this material has been decreasing,
and the need to find appropriate disposal locations has been of increasing concern. Recycling
programs offer a viable solution.
1.4 Aim of Research Work
This project has taken up to replace a small fraction of virgin aggregates with RAP, in base
layers to promote RAP usage in the pavement industry.
Using RAP does not only help in minimizing the cost of project but also ensures proper
utilization of resources.
1.5 Objectives
The experimental work is carried out to find the effect of varying proportions of RAP
materials on Strength and Durability of Pavement, following objectives are proposed:
1.To use RAP as a recycle material and to solve the problem of waste disposal.
2.To evaluate the strength characteristics of Bitumen and Recycled Aggregates for different
proportions of RAP in replacement of 10%, 20%, 30%,…. 50%.
3.To study the results of replacement and concentration on future use,&
4.Study the aging effect on RAP hot mix asphalt.

Literature Review
2.1 Introduction
Bitumen is sometimes called asphalt, but to be clear asphalt denotes the impure form of
generic material, whereas the bitumen, the basic mixture of heavy hydrocarbons free of
inorganic impurities. Bitumen is a non-volatile hydrocarbon soluble in carbon disulfide
having a very complex material structure. It bears the properties same as those of asphalt,
except that the asphalt occurs naturally in lake form while bitumen is an extract of crude oil.
Asphalt is produced by fractional distillation of crude oil. Crude oil originates from the
remains of marine organisms and vegetable matter deposited with mud and fragments of the
rock on the ocean bed. Conversion of organism and vegetable matter into hydrocarbons of
crude oil is thought to be the result of application of heat within the earth‟s crust and pressure
applied by the upper layer of the sediments, possibly aided by the effect of bacterial action
and radioactive bombardment. As further layers are deposited on the sedimentary rock, where
the oil has formed, the additional pressure squeezes the oil sideways and upwards through the
porous rocks, where the oil seeps through the surface. Fortunately, the majority of the oil and
gas will be trapped in porous rock which was overlaid by impermeable rock, thus forming gas
and oil reservoirs. The oil remains here until its presence is detected by seismic surveys and
recovered by drilling through the impermeable rock.

Use of bitumen in the construction industry has various applications like paving,
waterproofing, painting etc. Various forms of bitumen have come into form namely -
bituminous emulsions, cutbacks, hot mix asphalts etc. to serve the purpose. The ageing of
bitumen is important factor governing the performance of bitumen.
2.2 Review of Literature
Dharmesh Kumar, Dr. R.K Pandey,(2016) carried out A Reappraisal Paper on Reclaimed
Asphalt Pavement (Rap).
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement is a new technology of construction work with the help of
which bituminous pavements can be constructed at a decreased cost as it involves the utilize
of old bituminous pavement materials. Also it ensures accumulation of resources and supports
sustainable development. Optimal percentage of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Depends upon
the mixture of reclaimed bituminous material and type of payment layer in which it is to be
used. Though 25%- 55% are mostly adopted.
Brajesh Mishra,(2015) studied Use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Materials in
Flexible Pavement
It was observed that the RAP materials can be successfully used in granular sub base layer of
flexible pavements after blending to match the required grading as per MORTH specifications
for sub base material.
It was also observed that the RAP materials in combination to natural aggregate in various
proportions can be easily used after blending to match the required grading as per MORTH
specifications in the base courses of flexible pavements.
It is clear from the above investigation results that 30% replacement of natural aggregate can
be successfully done in base course of flexible pavements, resulting in a savings of around 25-
30% in construction cost.
Above all the problem of disposal of RAP wastes can be easily solved and adverse effect on
environment may be avoided by using the RAP materials in flexible pavement construction.

optimization of resources and supports sustainable development. Optimal percentage of RAP
depends upon the composition of reclaimed bituminous material and type of layer in which it
is to be used. Though 20%- 50% are mostly adopted.
Edward J. Hoppe, et al.,(2015) evaluated Feasibility of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)
Use As Road Base and Sub base Material.
The use of RAP in road base and sub base layers is technically viable.
Numerous transportation agencies have been recycling RAP in unbound base and sub base
layers for many years; however, there is a lack of literature on actual field performance.
Because of concerns related to lower shear strengths and excessive permanent deformations
resulting from large strains as RAP content increases, there is a general trend of using up to
50% RAP content by weight in virgin aggregate base and sub base layers.
There is a general lack of uniformity among the RAP use specifications adopted by various
transportation agencies.
When the nuclear density gauge is used for wet/dry density measurements, the compaction
acceptance criteria need to be modified to account for the RAP content.
Current pavement design procedures do not account for RAP material properties.
There do not appear to be substantive leaching concerns related to unstabilized RAP used as
base or sub base material.
Use of chemical stabilization agents may require environmental assessment on a case-bycase
basis.
Ahmed Mohamady, et al.,(2014) studied Effect of Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement on
Asphalt Mix Performance The optimum asphalt content is decreased as the RAP percent
increase. Mix stability decreases as the recycled aggregate percent increases. This may due to
the fatigue of such materials by aging.
Increasing RAP percent from zero to 30%, decreases the stability value by about 22%.
However, this decrease reaches 31% when reclaimed percent reaches 40%.
IR@AIKTC aiktcdspace.org
16. [EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF RAP MODIFIED
ASPHALT BINDER AND CRUSHED RAP AGGREGATES ] 2017-2018
AIKTC-School Of Engineering, New-Panvel. Page 7
Increasing the recycled aggregate percent in the asphalt mixes decreases the air voids percent
which may leads to asphalt bleeding. Asphalt mix with RAP percent of 40% gives air voids
percent of 2.5% which is out of the specification range.
Increasing of recycled material percent decreases the mix indirect tensile strength. However,
the reduction in mix tensile strength is more significant when the percent of RAP is higher
than 30 %.
Increasing of recycled material percent increases the loss of stability of asphalt mix. However,
the increasing in loss of stability of asphalt mix is more significant when the percent of RAP
is higher than 30 %.
S M Mhlongo, et al., (2014) carried out the results of the indirect tensile strength (ITS) and
stability tests are presented in Tables IV and V, as well as the mean of the volumetric
properties of the tested specimens. The original asphalt material without additional bitumen
i.e. 5.3% bitumen had high relative density (2528 kg/m3) and high air void ratio which is
above the specification. The air voids at 5.9% bitumen was slightly higher than the maximum
value recommended by specification (3 – 6%). The HMA fabricated with 50/70 bitumen,
regardless of the percentage of the bitumen added, exhibited a higher ITS, which is higher
than the minimum specified. It can be noticed that the relative density and air voids decreases
with the increase in binder content.
Khushbu M. Vyas, Shruti B. Khara,(2013) Evaluated Technical Viability Of Using
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement In Ahmedabad Brts Corridor For Base Course.
The RAP aggregates did not meet the required gradation as per MORTH. We observed that
the large size of aggregates were deficient in RAP mix due to the action of crushing & aging.
So, to meet the required gradation numbers of trials are made with natural aggregate and by
adding 60% of RAP mix, 30% of 40mm size of aggregates & 10 of % stone dust, we can
achieve the passing limits of each sieve size of aggregates.
Aggregate Impact Value was 14.89% which is less than the 30 % maximum permissible limits
as per MORTH for WMM. Hence the material is satisfied.
The Combined Flakiness & Elongation index was 27.64% which is less than the 30%
maximum permissible limits as per MORTH for WMM. Hence the material is satisfied.

The specific gravity of aggregates was lying from 2.8 to 3.0 and the water absorption of
aggregates ranges from 0.3 to 2.0 % which was between specifying limit so material is
satisfied.
T. Anil Pradyumna, et al., (2013) carried out Characterization of Reclaimed Asphalt
Pavement (RAP) for Use in Bituminous Road
Based on the laboratory testing work carried out on virgin mixes and mixes with 20 % RAP, it
was found that addition of RAP improves all the properties of the bituminous mixes. This
indicates that mixes with 20% RAP would perform better than the virgin mixes under similar
conditions.
Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that it is possible to design acceptable-
quality bituminous
mixes with RAP that meets the required volumetric, mechanical properties and desired
performance criteria.
However, for actual field performance evaluation of RAP mixes, Accelerated Pavement
Testing Facility (APTF)
available at CSIR-CRRI may be put to use to get the results in a shorter time period.
H. Ziari et al., (2005) Department of Civil Engineering Iran Science & Technology, Tehran -
Economic and environmental considerations have prompted the recycling of steel, aluminium,
plastic, and many materials. One of these recyclable materials is hot mix asphalt .This paper
presents research findings from the Investigation of Recycled Asphalt Pavement mixtures
project. The samples contained from 0 to 40 percent RAP from a road of Tehran. RAP
material was blended with fresh aggregate such that all samples tested had approximately the
same grading. Samples were examined for resilient modulus. The resilient modulus test
provide a measure of the elastic properties of the mixture.

2.3 Summary of Literature Review
The addition of modifiers to the bitumen results in improving physical properties. The
physical properties like softening point, penetration and elastic recovery improves. The value
of complex modulus, elastic modulus and storage modulus increases and phase angle
decreases, which resists the rutting of pavements. The effect of aging is less on polymer
modified binders compared to unmodified asphalt. Thus polymer modified mixtures can be
expected to yield longer fatigue lives. However the effect of ageing on other modified binders
is yet to be explored. From the survey of literature related to physical properties and
performance of modified bituminous binders in pavement, it is observed that, majority of the
investigators have focused on physical properties of binder and mechanical properties of
mixes but the rheological and chemical characteristics are the main pointers to the material
performance.
Chemistry of the bitumen mainly depends on the carbonyl and sulphoxide groups, and the
increase of these components leads to the oxidation and in turn degradation of the quality of
bitumen. Many studies have been conducted with regard to the effect of RAP inclusion in the
pavement structure and its mechanical performance, yet the blending efficiency of the RAP
and virgin binder is still to be understood. If there is not a complete blend concerns arise that
the long term pavement life could be compromised. Hence, it is necessary to properly
evaluate the blending efficiency of the reclaimed asphalt pavement and virgin asphalt.

Materials and Methodology
3.1 Materials
From a performance point of view, bitumen is one of the most important constituents of an
asphalt mixture. The response of bitumen to stress depends on temperature and loading time.
At low temperatures or short loading times, bitumen behaves predominantly elastic. At high
temperature or long loading time bitumen behaves like a liquid. For typical pavement
temperatures and load conditions bitumen generally exhibits both viscous and elastic
behaviour. RAP used in this study is collected from Mumbai International Airport Texiway.

3.1.1 Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Evaluation
In this experimental study broken Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) was collected from
Mumbai International Airport Taxiway. The age of RAP is 8 years and it was overlay material.
The percentage of bitumen extracted from the RAP is 4.5%. The grade of Bitumen used in the
RAP mixture is found out to be VG30. Virgin bitumen is purchased from the market having
the same grade as that of the RAP mixture i.e.VG 30. Benzene is used for the process of the
extraction of bitumen from RAP. It was made using 60/70 grade of bitumen and it served
heavy traffic volume. The surface was broken for paving of concrete overlay. In this particular
case we evaluated RAP for asphalt content. We took 5 kg sample for extraction purpose to
avoid variations in sampling. A uniform sample of RAP. Extraction of aged bitumen from RAP
sample is done using Centrifuge Bitumen Extractor (CBE) using benzene solvent.
The recommended test procedure for the centrifuge extraction test is as follows:
1- If the mixture is not sufficiently soft to separate with a spatula or trowel, place it in a
large, flat pan and warm to 110°C, only until it can be handled or mixed.
2- Dry the empty centrifuge bowl with the filter paper to a constant weight and record this
weight in the data sheet.
3- Dry the test sample at 110°C to remove the moisture from it.
4- Place a sample (650-2500 g) of the asphalt concrete mixture into the bowl of the
centrifuge apparatus. Record this weight as W1.
5- Cover the test sample with trichloroethylene, trichloroethane, methylene chloride, or
diesel and allow sufficient time for the solvent to disintegrate the test portion (not over
1 h).
6- Fit the filter paper on the bowl, clamp the cover on the bowl tightly and place a beaker
under the drain to collect the extract.
7- Start the centrifuge revolving slowly and gradually increase the speed to a maximum of
3600 rpm or until solvent ceases to flow from the drain pipe.
8- Stop the machine, add 200 ml of the solvent, and repeat the centrifuge procedure.
9- Repeat Step # 8 sufficient times (not less than three) so that the extract has a light
colour.
10- Collect the extract and the washings in a suitable graduated cylinder.
11- Dry the bowl with the filter paper to a constant weight in an oven at 110 + 5°C.

12- Weight the dried aggregate and the filter paper. Designate the weight of the aggregate
with the increase in the weight of the filter paper as W2.
13- Determine the amount of mineral matter in the extract using the following procedure:
a. Record the volume of the total extract (from Step 8) in the graduated cylinder.
Designate this volume as V1.
b. Agitate the extract thoroughly and immediately take a representative sample
(between 300-500ml) from the extract. Designate this volume as V2.
c. Place the selected extract into a previously tared and calibrated flask.
d. Place the flask in a controlled-temperature bath controlled to ±0.1°C, and allow
to come to the temperature at which the flask was calibrated.
e. Fill the flask with solvent which has been kept at the same temperature. Bring
the level of the liquid in the flask up to the neck, insert the stopper, making sure
the liquid overflows the capillary, and remove from the bath.
f. Wipe the flask dry, determine the mass to the nearest 0.1 g, and record this mass
as the mass of flask plus extract.

3.2.4 Specific Gravity Test (IS : 1202 - 1978)
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the methods for the determination of specific gravity of asphalt,
bitumen, bituminous products, road tar, coal tar, coal tar pitch, creosote and anthracite.
2. Method A (Pyknometer Method)
2.1 This method covers the determination of specific gravity for semisolid bitumen road tars
and creosote and anthracite oil.
2.2 Apparatus- Specific gravity bottles of 50 ml capacity shall be used. One of the two types of
specific gravity bottles, namely (a) the ordinary capillary type specific gravity bottle with a
neck of 6 mm diameter and (b) the wide-mouthed capillary type specific gravity bottle with a
neck of 25 mm diameter shall be used.
The stopper shall be provided with a bore 1.0 to 2.0 mm in diameter centrally located in
reference to the vertical axis. The top surface of the stopper shall be smooth and substantially
plain and the lower surface shall be concave in order to allow all air to escape through the bore.
The height of the concave section shall be 4.0 to 6.0 mm at the centre.
2.2.1 The ordinary specific gravity bottle shall be used for materials which remain absolutely
fluid at 25°C while the wide mouth capillary type shall be used for materials which remain
semisolid or high viscous at 25°C.
2.2.2 Constant Temperature Bath - A water bath having a depth greater than that of
Pyknometer capable of being maintained within0.2°C of the desired temperature.
2.2.3 Bath Thermometer - It shall conform to the following
requirements:
Table 3.8 Pyknometer Thermometer Requirement

Range 0 to 44°C
Graduations 0.1°C
Immersion 65mm
Overall length 340± 10 mm

AIKTC-School Of Engineering, New-Panvel. Page 24
Length of graduated portion 150 to 190 mm
Longer lines at each 1°C and 5°C
2.3 Procedure - Clean, dry and weigh the specific gravity bottle together with the stopper (a).
Fill it with freshly boiled and cooled distilled water and insert the stopper firmly. Keep the
bottle up to its neck for not less than half an hour in a beaker of distilled water maintained at a
temperature of27.0 ± 0.l°C or any other temperature at which specific gravity is to be
determined; wipe all surplus moisture from the surface with a clean, dry cloth and weigh again
(b). After weighing the bottle and water together (b) the bottle shall be dried again.
2.3.1 In the case of solids and semisolids, bring a small amount of the material to a fluid
condition by gentle application of heat, care being taken to prevent loss by evaporation. When
the material is sufficiently fluid, pour a quantity into the clean, dry specific gravity bottle
mentioned at 3.3 to fill at least half. Slightly warm the bottle before filling. Keep the material
away from touching the sides above the final level of the bottle and avoid the inclusion of air
bubbles. The use of a small funnel will prevent contamination of the neck of the bottle. To
permit escape of entangled air bubbles, allow the partly filled bottle to stand for half an hour at
a temperature between 60 - 70°C, then cool to I the specified temperature and weigh with the
stopper (c).
2.3.2 Fill the specific gravity bottle containing the asphalt with freshly boiled distilled water
placing the stopper loosely in the specific gravity bottle. Do not allow any air bubble to remain
in the specific gravity bottle. Place the specific gravity bottle in the water bath and press the
stopper firmly in place. Allow the specific gravity bottle to remain in the water bath for a
period of not less than 30 minutes. Remove the specific gravity bottle from the water bath,
wipe all surplus moisture from the surface with a clean dry cloth and weigh it along with the
stopper.
2.3.3 In the case of liquids such as creosote and anthracite oil, fill the bottle up to the brim and
insert the stopper firmly. Keep the filled bottle for not less than half an hour in a beaker of
distilled water maintained at a temperature of 27.0 ± 0.1°C, remove the bottle from the beaker,
wipe all surplus water from the surface with a clean, dry cloth and weigh again.
2.4 Calculation - Calculate the specific gravity of the material as follows:
a) Specific gravity (solids and semisolids) = (c-a)/((b-a)-(d-c))
b) Specific gravity(liquids) = (e-a)/(b-a)
where
a = mass of the specific gravity bottle,

b = mass of the specific gravity bottle filled with distilled water
c =mass of the specific gravity bottle about half filled with the material,
d = mass of the specific gravity bottle about half filled with the material and the rest with
distilled water, and
e = mass of the specific gravity bottle completely filled with the material.
2.5 Report - Results of the test shall be expressed as the ratio of mass of a given volume of the
material at a temperature specified under 2.1.2to the mass of the same volume of water at the
same temperature.
2.6 Precision - With samples which are neither very volatile nor very viscous and using a
pyknometer of at least 25 ml capacity.
2.7 Precautions - When making the specific gravity determination, it is important that:
a) only freshly boiled and cooled distilled water shall be used;
b) at no time of weighing shall the temperature of the apparatus bellowed to exceed the
specified temperature;
c) precautions shall be taken to prevent expansion and over-flow of the contents resulting from
the heat of the hand when wiping the surface of the apparatus;
d) all air bubbles shall be eliminated in filling the apparatus and inserting the stopper;
e) weighing shall be done quickly after filling the apparatus and shall be accurate to 0.1 mg;
and
f) to prevent breakage of the apparatus when cleaning after a determination has been made
upon a very viscous of semisolid material, it is advisable to warm it in an oven at a temperature
not above 100°C, until most of the material is poured out and then to swab it with a piece of
soft cloth or cotton waste. When cool, it may be finally rinsed with carbon disulphide, benzol
or other solvent and wiped clean.

application of heat, taking care to prevent loss by evaporation, and pouring the material when
sufficiently fluid into a 20 mm brass cubical mould that has been treated with a 1 : 1 mixture of
glycerine and dextrin and placed on a brass plate previously so treated. Take precautions to
prevent the inclusion of air bubbles. The hot material should be slightly more than that required
to fill the mould, and when cool, the excess may be cut off with a hot spatula. Remove the
specimen from the mould when cooled to room temperature.
3.4 Procedure - Tare the balance first with a piece of fine waxed silk thread sufficiently long to
reach from the hook on one of the pan supports to the rest. Attach the test specimen to the
thread. so as to be suspended about 25 mm above the straddle from the hook on the pan
support, and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. Weigh the specimen. Still suspended by thread, and
completely immersed in freshly boiled and cooled distilled water at 27.0 ± 0.1°C, to the nearest
0.1 mg, adhering air bubbles being first removed with a fine wire.
3.5 Calculation - Calculate the specific gravity of the material as follows:
Specific gravity = a/(a-b)
a = mass of the dry specimen, and
b = mass of the specimen when immersed in distilled water.
3.6 Report - Report the specific gravity to the nearest 0.001 at 25°C/ I25°C. The
buoyancy/correction in this case is negligible.

Theory
Particle shape and surface texture influence the properties of freshly mixed concrete more than
the properties of hardened concrete. Rough-textured, angular, and elongated particles require
more water to produce workable concrete than smooth, rounded compact aggregate.
Consequently, the cement content must also be increased to maintain the water-cement ratio.
Generally, flat and elongated particles are avoided or are limited to about 15 % by weight of
the total aggregate.
Apparatus
The metal gauge shall be of the pattern shown in Fig. 10.1, Balance, Gauging Trowel, Stop
Watch, etc.
Procedure
1. Sample - A quantity of aggregate shall be taken sufficient to provide the minimum number
of 200 pieces of any fraction to be tested.
2. Sieving - The sample shall be sieved in accordance with the method described in Exp. 3(b)
with the sieves specified in Table 3.18.

of the slot used in the gauge or sieve shall be of the dimensions specified in co1 3 of Table 3.18
for the appropriate size of material.
4. Weighing of Flaky Material - The total amount passing the gauge shall be weighed to an
accuracy of at least 0.1 percent of the weight of the test sample.
5. The flakiness index is the total weight of the material passing the various thickness gauges
or sieves, expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the sample gauged.
6. Sieving - The sample shall be sieved in accordance with the method described in Exp. 3(b)
with the sieves.
7. Separation of Elongated Material- Each fraction shall be gauged individually for length on a
metal length gauge of the pattern shown in Fig. 11.2. The gauge length used shall be that
specified in co1 4 of Table 3.18 for the appropriate size of material.
8. Weighing of Elongated Material - The total amount retained by the length gauge shall be
weighed to an accuracy of at least 0.1 percent of the weight of the test sample.
9. The elongation index is the total weight of the material retained on the various length
gauges, expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the sample gauged.

Procedure
1. The test sample shall consist of aggregate the whole of which passes a 12.5 mm IS Sieve and
is retained on a 10 mm IS Sieve. The aggregate comprising the test sample shall be dried in an
oven for a period of four hours at a temperature of 100 to 110°C and cooled.
2. The measure shall be filled about one-third full with the aggregate and tamped with 25
strokes of the rounded end of the tamping rod. The net weight of aggregate in the measure shall
be determined to the nearest gram (Weight A)
3. The impact machine shall rest without wedging or packing upon the level plate, block or
floor, so that it is rigid and the hammer guide columns are vertical.
4. The cup shall be fixed firmly in position on the base of the machine and the whole of the test
sample placed in it and compacted by a single tamping of 25 strokes of the tamping rod.
5. The hammer shall be raised until its lower face is 380 mm above the upper surface of the
aggregate in the cup and allowed to fall freely on to the aggregate. The test sample shall be
subjected to a total of 15 such blows each being delivered at an interval of not less than one
second.
6. The crushed aggregate shall then be removed from the cup and the whole of it sieved on the
2.36 mm IS Sieve until no further significant amount passes in one minute. The fraction
passing the sieve shall be weighed to an accuracy of 0.1 g (Weight. B).
7. The fraction retained on the sieve shall also be weighed (Weight C) and, if the total weight
(C+B) is less than the initial weight (Weight A) by more than one gram, the result shall be
discarded and a fresh test made. Two tests shall be made.
Calculation
The ratio of the weight of fines formed to the total sample weight in each test shall he
expressed as a percentage, the result being recorded to the first decimal place:
Impact value = B/A * 100
Conclusion / Result
The aggregate Impact value of given sample of coarse aggregate is ……….. %
The aggregate impact value should not be more than 45 per cent for aggregate used for
concrete other than for wearing surfaces, and 30 per cent for concrete used for wearing surfaces
such a runways, roads and air field pavements.

Results and Discussions
4.1 General
RAP modified asphalt binder samples were tested for physical properties according to the
methods described in chapter 3. The observations made on the results are presented and
discussed in the following paragraphs.
4.2 Extraction and Evaluation Of Bitumen From The RAP
After extracting the binder from RAP by centrifuge extractor, the extracted solution was
subjected to open air for the recovery of binder. The diluted sample (bitumen + benzene) to
be processed was fed directly into the Deep Tray. The sample is kept for the exposure to
atmosphere, in certain time the benzene gets evaporated and bitumen is left over.

Conclusions and Future Scope
5.1 Conclusions
The present study will be helpful for objective identification and characterization of RAP
material, the optimum portion of RAP binder will be used in virgin binder and RAP
aggregates can be reused in asphalt and sub-base as well.
RAP materials can be successfully used in granular sub base layer of flexible pavements after
blending to match the required grading as per MORTH specifications for sub base material.
Asphalt recycling will be sustainable, Asphalt recycling will be economical & Asphalt
recycling works will start.
RAP is a new technology with the help of which bituminous pavements can be constructed at
a reduced cost as it involves the usage of old bituminous pavement materials. Also it ensures
optimization of resources and supports sustainable development. The future will bring greater
emphasis on using reclaimed asphalt pavement in mixtures. The industry will improve the
effectiveness of using recycled material.
The optimum asphalt content will decrease as the RAP percent increase

5.2 Future Scope
RAP can be successfully used in the construction of a new pavement.
All the problem of disposal of RAP wastes can be easily solved and adverse effect on
environment may be avoided by using the RAP materials in flexible pavement construction
It is clear from the different researches, 30% replacement of natural aggregate can be
successfully done in base course of flexible pavements, resulting in a savings of around 25-
30% in construction cost.
To replace a small fraction of virgin aggregates with RAP, in base layers to promote RAP
usage in the pavement industry.
Using RAP does not only help in minimizing the cost of project but also ensures proper
utilization of resources.
