INTRODUCTION
ROAD:
 India has a road network of over 5,603,293 kilometres (3,481,725 mi) as on 31 March 2016, the
second largest road network in the world.
 Adjusted for its large population, India has approximately 4.63 km of roads per 1000 people.
 Qualitatively India's roads are a mix of modern highways and narrow, unpaved roads, and are
being improved.
 As on 31 March 2016, 62.5% of Indian roads were paved.
 The length of national highways in India has increased from 70,934 km in 2010-11 to
101,011 km in 2015-16.
 As of May 2017, India had completed and placed in use over 28,900 kilometres of recently built
4 or 6-lane highways connecting many of its major manufacturing centres, commercial and
cultural centres.
TYPES 0F ROADS:

 Flexible pavement road.

 Rigid pavement road.

Flexible pavement road:

 Flexible pavement can be defined as the one consisting of a mixture of asphaltic or
bituminous material and aggregates placed on bed of compacted granular material
of appropriate quality in layers over the subgrade.
 Water bound macadam roads and stabilized soil roads with or without asphaltic
toppings are examples of flexible pavements.
 It consists of a series of layers with the highest quality materials at or near the
surface of pavement.
 Flexible pavements have self healing properties due to heavier wheel loads are
recoverable due to some extent.
 Flexible pavements are constructed using bituminous materials.
 RIGID PAVEMENT ROAD:

 A rigid pavement is constructed from cement concrete or reinforced concrete

slabs.
 The rigid pavements has rigidity and high modulus of elasticity to distribute
the load over a relatively wide area of soil.
 It consists of one layer Portland cement concrete slab or relatively high
flexural strength.
 Any excessive deformations occurring due to heavier wheel loads are not
recoverable, i.e settlements are permanent.
 BITUMEN:

 Bitumen is a thermoplastic material and its stiffness is dependent on temperature.

 The temperature-vs-stiffness relationship of bitumen is dependent on the source of
crude oil and the method of refining.
 The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced paving grade bitumen specifications
(IS: 73- 1950) for the first time in the year 1950 and classified it on penetration.

PROPERTIES OF BITUMEN:
 Hardness – Penetration greater than 40 are used for road construction.
 Softening point – Property which make us to know whether given bitumen can be
used at the particular place i.e softening point value should be higher than
pavement temperature.
 Ductility – Formation of the film snd coating would be proper.
 Viscosity – At low or high viscosity of bitumen coating of binder around aggregates
will not be proper.
 Flash and fire point – Flash point 175 degrees and, fire point usally 15 degree higher
than flash point.
 Specific gravity – Lies between 0.97 to 1.02.
 RECLAIMED ASPALT PAVEMENT(RAP):
 Is defined as removed pavement materials containing asphalt and aggregates.
 These materials are generated when asphalt pavements are removed for
reconstruction, resurfacing, or to obtain access to buried utilities.
 When properly crushed and screened, RAP consists of high-quality, well-graded
aggregates coated by asphalt cement.

Sources of RAP:
 The various possible sources of RAP are as follows
 1. Generation from milling of HMA layer .
 2. Full depth pavement removal .
 3. Waste from HMA generated at plant Milling is the process of scraping and
removing any distressed upper layers of existing pavement to a specified
depth.
ADVANTAGES OF RAP:
 Provide engineering benefits for contractors and government agencies involved in road
maintenance.
 Save engineers and contractors time, money and materials.
 Allowing for more efficient road maintenance projects.
 Lower quality asphalt ca be used as a substitute for embankment, fill or road base materials.
 Contractors save by reducing energy, materials and waste hauling costs.
 Cost is susceptible to fluctuating prices in the market.

DISADVANTAGES OF RAP:
Cold temperature performance:
 When in cold climates the use of recycled asphalt may contribute to the cracking of
pavement.
Variance in quality:
 The quality of the pavement can vary.
 The quality of the recycled pavement depends on factors such as the number of times the
source pavement had been reclaimed or had other work done on it.
 Sometimes soil can get into the materials while it is being stored for recycling.
 OBJECTIVES

The main objectives and scope of this study are outlined as follows:
 Review current knowledge of road building and recycling of bituminous
mixtures.
 Determine the Physical and Mechanical properties of Conventional aggregates
and RAP aggregates and the constituent mixtures.
 Examine the effects of using RAP in Bituminous mixtures in terms of Stability
and flow.
 To promote high proportion of RAP materials as base materials in flexible
pavement.
 SCOPE

 Characterization of the conventional asphalt and aggregate .

 Characterization of the Reclaimed asphalt and aggregate .
 Marshall Method of mix design for original aggregates and determination of
properties .
