Abstract:

Asphalt pavement Recycling is a common practice in Transportation sector. Environmental, economic, and social benefits are the encouraging factors for pavement recycling. The global objective of sustainable development can be achieved by making use RAP in roadway projects. Problems such as disposal of reclaimed asphalt material from paving projects, high production cost of asphalt and transportation cost of virgin material are addressed by recycling of RAP. Generally, a recycling agent is added with RAP to restore the chemical properties of aged asphalt binder. Recycling or Rejuvenating agents are organic materials which improve asphalt consistency by restoring the chemical structure of aged asphalt. Viscosity characteristics are the determining factors in selecting the recycling agent for the aged asphalt binder. Waste Engine Oil as a rejuvenator has gained a lot of interest in pavement recyclability but there is still a significant lack of research in its application. This paper intends to highlight previous research works conducted on RAP and Waste engine oil as a Recycling agent.
