This research investigates the feasibility of incorporating construction debris into asphalt concrete mix designs. By exploring various compositions and proportions of recycled construction materials, the project aims to develop sustainable and cost-effective asphalt mixtures. Through rigorous laboratory testing and analysis, the study will evaluate the impact of construction debris on the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of asphalt concrete. The ultimate goal is to identify optimal mix designs that meet performance standards while diverting construction waste from landfills and reducing the consumption of virgin materials.
This research was trying to find a way to use old building rubbish to make new roads by mixing it with the stuff used to make asphalt and testing to see if it's strong enough. If it works, we can help save money, reduce waste, and make our roads greener.
