Performance Evaluation of Reinforced Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement with Basalt Fibers and Recycled Polyethylene in Warm Regions of Iran

One of the important characteristics of developing countries is strengthening and modernizing transportation networks including land paths. This is not possible without using modern technology, new materials and its additives. Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a usable material in making pavement of roads. As the authors know the strength and composition of roller compacted concrete is different from concrete. In this study roller compacted concrete is assessed by specified percentage of basalt fibers, reinforced recycled polyethylene and executive notes of this concrete. Then provided samples are tested with regard to flexural, tensile and compressive strength. According to the results, strength parameters of reinforced roller compacted concrete have increased. So, with regard to reducing thermal fracture, increasing flexural and tensile strength, this composition can be introduced as one of the modern ways in making composite pavements with less implementing thickness and longer life-time than traditional methods.
