Experimental Investigation of Usability of 100% Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) as a Cold Patching Material in Turkey
Öz
In this study, the usability of 100% RAP as a cold patching material (CPM) was experimentally investigated. As part of this study, first, the RAP material has been characterized to determine its binder content and particle size distribution of the extracted aggregate. Then, three sets of RAP specimens (each set has three specimens) were prepared. These specimens were conditioned at 22°C, 40°C and 45°C for three hours. Then, the specimens were compacted with 75 Marshall hammer blows. The compacted specimens were then tested for their Marshall stability, and flow at 22°C. Air contents of the test specimens were also determined . It was observed that as conditioning temperatures of the compacted test specimens increased, their Marshall stability test results increased but their flow and air content test results mostly decreased. Marshall stability test results of all three sets of specimens were well above the specification limits. Moreover, all test specimens except for only one specimen conditioned at 22°C met the flow and air content criteria. It could be concluded that 100% RAP could be used as a CPM especially above 22°C. If it is needed to be used at around 22°C, it must be ensured that it is well compacted so that its air content is below 8% for a durable and comparably long-lasting cold patching application.
