Laboratory Investigation of Portland Cement Concrete Containing Recycled Asphalt Pavements

The authors present their investigation into the potential of using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in Portland cement concrete to enhance its toughness and reduce its chances of brittle failure. They considered two types of RAP (coarse and fine RAP). Their findings indicated that RAP could be incorporated into Portland cement concrete without any modification to the conventional equipment or procedures. They found that there was a systematic reduction in the compressive and split tensile strengths with the incorporation RAP in concrete with no treatment. Results also showed that the energy-absorbing toughness for the RAP-incorporated concrete was significantly improved. These findings may have practice applications in civil engineering.
