Properties of unbound base course mixes with recycled asphalt
Abstract
The possibility of using recycled asphalt as replacement for natural aggregate in unbound base course mixes is explored in the paper. The mixes in which a certain proportion of natural aggregate (limestone, gravel) was replaced with recycled asphalt were analysed. The testing program involved analysis of the grading, compaction parameters, physicomechanical properties and bearing capacity of mixes. The results show that recycled asphalt can be used, in some proportions, as a suitable replacement for natural aggregate.
