Abstract

The use of recovered asphalt pavement can reduce the amount of new bitumen and aggregates used in pavement construction and rehabilitation (RAP). RAP is a waste product that results from the removal of an old or damaged pavement surface. Although it has been used since the 1970s, and numerous recommendations for using RAP in the new mixture have been made, there are only a few research available. Because the materials used are recycled, it is also cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The purpose of this study is to characterize soil that has been blended with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for use on the local road shoulder. RAP is one of the rehabilitation procedures used to repair a deteriorated surface by removing the upper pavement and replacing it with new pavement. According to earlier study, mixing dirt with different materials improves the finding. The goals of this study are to establish the material qualities of soil and RAP, determine the optimum moisture content of material and degree of compaction for road shoulders, and determine the appropriate mix proportion of soil and RAP for road shoulders using the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test. The Atterberg limit, liquid limit, and plastic limit for soil were evaluated on a sample of soil and RAP. For soil and RAP, a sieve analysis was performed. Compaction tests for soil and RAP were carried out with a mixture of 10S, 2S8RAP, 4S6RAP, 6S4RAP, 8S2RAP, and 10RAP, as well as CBR tests for soil and RAP. . According to the results of the laboratory test, 20% of RAP (8S2RAP) had a better-mixed proportion for the road shoulder. As a result, repurposed materials like RAP can be used as road shoulder material.
