Characterization of soil mixed with reclaimed asphalt pavement waste for road shoulder

The usage of fresh bitumen and aggregates in pavement construction and rehabilitation can be minimised by utilising reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). RAP is a waste material generated from the old or damaged pavement surface. Although it has been practiced since the 1970s while several suggestions o...

Civil engineering (General) The usage of fresh bitumen and aggregates in pavement construction and rehabilitation can be minimised by utilising reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). RAP is a waste material generated from the old or damaged pavement surface.

From previous research, if soil is mixed with the other materials, it will improve the finding. In this research, the objectives are to determine the material properties of soil and RAP, investigate the optimum moisture content of material and degree of compaction for road shoulder and investigate the optimum mix proportion of soil and RAP under the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test for road shoulder. The sample of soil and RAP has been tested Atterberg limit, liquid limit and plastic limit for soil. Sieve analysis for soil and RAP. Compaction test for soil and CBR test for soil and RAP were conducted with mixed proportion of 10S, 2S8RAP, 4S6RAP, 6S4RAP, 8S2RAP and 10RAP. The finding from the laboratory test, 20% of RAP (8S2RAP) showed the better mixed proportion for road shoulder.
