RE-USE OF PAVING MATERIALS IN THE NETHERLANDS

HERGEBRUIK VAN WEGVERHARDINGSMATERIALEN IN NEDERLAND

This report on the activities of Rijkswaterstaat concerns the re-use of paving materials in the Netherlands between 1973 and 1984, the results of laboratory investigation and experiments in practice, and developments in the same field in other countries. Re-use of paving materials in road construction and maintenance is mainly due to the increasing objections of environmentalists to the exploitation of raw materials (sand and gravel) and to the dumping and combustion of waste materials. An important and increasingly used method is hot recycling of hot bituminous mixtures according to the renofalt-process, which is based on recycling of 90% or more of the broken up material with the addition of a minimum quantity of rejuvenating agent. The authors also discuss the following recycling methods: hot recycling of hot bituminous mixtures on partial basis, cold recycling of bituminous mixtures in cement-stabilized, broken up asphalt and as unbound stone roadbasematerial, surface regeneration, re-use of broken up concrete, granulated crushed concrete as unbound stone roadbase material and as aggregate for asphaltic concrete and concrete mixtures, re-use of bricks and other stony materials.
