Abstract
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is increasingly essential in pavement engineering to enhance environmental sustainability. The use of rejuvenators and polymers has solved concerns about the dynamic performance of RAP; however, its damping and vibration properties still need to be investigated. Pavement vibrations pose a threat to public health, impeding sustainability. This research investigates RAP's damping performance, resonant frequency, and dynamic modulus using a non-destructive impact resonance (IR) test. Three RAP percentages (0 %, 50 %, and 100 %), three waste oil rejuvenators (paraffin oil, fatty acid, and base bitumen), and recycled high-density polyethylene (r-HDPE) were employed. Rejuvenators and r-HDPE were used separately and simultaneously at varying percentages. Evaluations were conducted under two conditions (long-term aged (LTA) and unaged) and two temperatures (25 °C and −12 °C). Findings reveal a performance hierarchy: under unaged conditions, rejuvenators exhibit superior efficacy, while simultaneous application of rejuvenator and recycled polymer optimally performs in prolonged aging scenarios. Statistical analyses underscore the pivotal role of rejuvenator quantity, irrespective of recycled polymer presence, aging, and temperature, as determinants in sculpting RAP's damping performance, resonant frequency, and dynamic modulus.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Construction Materials provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies on construction materials. In addition, the journal also publishes related Short Communications, Full length research article and Comprehensive review papers (by invitation).
The journal will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practicing engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in all aspects construction materials. The journal will publish new and novel case studies, but will also provide a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic construction material problems and solutions.
