Waste generation from agricultural and construction industries is growing at an upsetting rate that causes a heavy burden on landfill facilities. On the other hand, the construction industry is exhausting natural resources thereby posing environmental problems. This study investigates the potential use of agro-industrial waste such as rice husk ash (RHA) and construction waste like reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) as promising construction materials. The durability and physical and mechanical properties of concrete were assessed by partially replacing cement and virgin aggregates with RHA and RAP, up to 20% and 50%, respectively. A total of 22 mixes were studied, twelve of which were devoted to studying the collective effects of RHA and RAP on the engineering properties of concrete. Based on experimental results, RHA and RAP decreased slump, compacting factor, density, water absorption and sorptivity. RHA increased compressive and tensile splitting strength, whereas RAP decreased compressive and tensile splitting strength. Comparable strength and favorable sorptivity values were obtained when 15% RHA was combined with up to 20% RAP in the concrete mix. Thus, utilizing RHA and RAP as concrete ingredients can contribute to solid waste management, engineering and economic benefits.

AbstractDespite significant economic and environmental benefits, performance of warm mix asphalt (WMA) containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) remains a matter of concern. Among the current WMA technologies, the plant foaming technique (called “foamed WMA” in this study) has gained the most attention, since it eliminates the need for chemical additives. In the present study, the laboratory performance, namely rutting and moisture-induced damage potential of foamed WMA containing RAP were evaluated and compared with those of similar hot mix asphalt (HMA) containing identical amount of RAP. Dynamic modulus, Hamburg wheel tracking (HWT) and flow number tests were performed to assess the rutting resistance of the mixes. Also, stripping inflection point from HWT tests and tensile strength ratio after AASHTO T 283 and moisture induced sensitivity test (MIST) conditioning were used to evaluate the moisture-induced damage of asphalt mixes. It was found that MIST conditioning effectively simulates the moisture-induced damage and can capture the propensity of asphalt mixes to moisture damage more distinctly compared to AASHTO T 283 method due to application of cyclic loadings. The foamed WMA was found to exhibit higher rutting and moisture-induced damage potential due to lower mixing and compaction temperatures compared to HMA. However, the increase in RAP content was found to reduce rutting and moisture-induced damage potential for WMA. Therefore, the lower stiffness of foamed WMA may be compensated with the addition of stiffer binder from RAP.
