Özet

© Avestia Publishing, 2017.The present asphalt pavement industry faces two major issues. These two major issues are the increasing demand for eco-friendly asphalt mixtures and the costs of raw materials. The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement will be an essential attempt to reduce the costs of aggregates and bitumen in the final mixture. On the other hand, the main challenge for implementing RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) is to overcome quality issues. RAP doesn't perform like a fresh pavement since it is an aged material and needs to be improved. This puts forward the requirement for extra practices like using of rejuvenating agents. Since bitumen loses its oily constituents when it ages, the use of oil-containing additives can be effective. In this study, two kinds of waste oils were used to rejuvenate aged asphalt mixture. Optimum contents of Waste Engine Oil (WEO) and Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) additives were determined in order to implement various RAP contents. The effects of these two oily based rejuvenators on utilization of RAP in bituminous mixtures were investigated. The results represented that the use of WEO and WVO as rejuvenators for mixtures containing RAP enhances the amount of RAP used in bituminous mixtures.
