Abstract
The use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) in bituminous concrete was chosen for this project to define the use of recycled material in road construction. This would undoubtedly assist in improving cost-effective road development. This study will aid in the reduction of environmental damage. Mining will be minimized as a result of recovered concrete, resulting in less pollution. Millions of tons of aggregate are used in the construction and maintenance of roads and highways. In light of the scarcity of fresh aggregate, this study proposes that a portion of the fresh aggregate be replaced with recycled material. The road's construction is highly expensive. Only the materials account for more than 60% of the total building cost, with aggregates accounting for around 30% of the total. This recycled concrete is used instead of fresh aggregate in road building to keep the project costs down. It is necessary to investigate the compatibility of recycled concrete in various pavement portions in order to make the greatest use of recycled aggregates. Recycled aggregate was employed in the Granular Sub Base (GSB) and Wet Mix Macadam in this study (WMM).
