CHANGING RIGID CONCRETE INTO FLEXIBLE BITMAC - USING RECYCLED CONCRETE IN A BITUMINOUS MIX

Within most aspects of modern life there is now a need to conserve natural resources and to recycle or reclaim those materials which are in short or finite supply. One area in which there is still great potential for recycling is the demolition industry. For the total amount of debris produced and suitable for recycling, it is estimated that 25 million tonnes could be made available for use annually. The recycling of "waste" products is a desirable activity, whether economically motivated or through environmental consideration; or more usually a combination of both. This paper discusses the performacne of recycled concrete with particular reference to its potential use in bituminous mixes. Recycled crushed concrete from a number of sources has been investigated.
