Özet

The reuse of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) instead of aggregate reduces natural aggregate consumption in concrete mixtures and production cost of concrete. Waste crushed asphalt’s water absorption is less than the water absorption of natural aggregate owing to the bituminous structure; this reduces the water demand in fresh concrete. In the present study, the optimal use of RAP particles as aggregate in concrete roads has been measured. In the tests, concrete specimens have been produced with 0–12 mm waste crushed asphalt at the replacement ratios of 0, 25, 50, and 100%. The destructive, nondestructive, and durability tests have been carried out on hardened and fresh concrete specimens to identify physical and mechanical properties. The slump values were obtained in fresh concrete and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), and compressive strengths were obtained in concrete at the end of 3, 7, and 28 days. According to Experimental results, asphalt waste caused the reduction of strength, physical, and Mechanical properties.
