Superior performance benefits of multigrade bitumen asphalt with recycled asphalt pavement additive

Leaching characteristics of metals from recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP)

“…This is a viable option due to the limited availability and high costs of natural aggregates and both RCA and RAP having similar mechanical properties to natural aggregates [ 9 , 10 ]. RCA and RAP are primarily used for the construction of the base and sub-base layers of road pavements [ [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ]. For example, around 96 % of RCA was used as a sub-base of structural roads in Japan [ 17 ] and in the construction industry in Australia [ 18 ].…”

Shear Strength of Unsaturated Expansive Soils From Queensland Natural Slopes

“…Geotechnical site investigation is of prime importance in ensuring the safety of civil engineering structures related to embankments, pavements and landfills [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Therefore the understanding of the soil interface shear strength is vital in designing and analysing the stability of geotechnical structures [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
