Abstract
Cold mix asphalt (CMA) is a sustainable substitute for conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA) since it uses less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions during manufacture. This study examines the possibility of incorporating industrial waste materials as fine aggregates in CMA formulations, with the goal of improving sustainability and performance properties. The industrial wastes under consideration encompass many forms such as fly ash, slag, and quarry dust. The study examines the mechanical characteristics, longevity, and ecological effects of the created CMA mixes in contrast to conventional HMA.The user's text is already straightforward and precise. These evaluations analyse the performance of industrial waste-based CMA in different loading and environmental circumstances to determine its applicability. The key findings indicate substantial effects, such as increased resistance to rutting, greater durability, or performance comparable to Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). In addition, environmental assessments emphasize the decreased emission of carbon dioxide and the possibility for conserving resources by using industrial wastes in asphalt mixtures.This study provides useful insights into the creation of sustainable asphalt materials through the optimization of industrial waste utilization. The results offer a scientific foundation for advocating environmentally conscious methods in road building and upkeep, in line with worldwide initiatives for sustainable infrastructure and efficient use of resources.
