Use of Recycled Construction and Demolition Materials in Pavement Engineering

Abstract

Abstract: The disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) waste poses significant environmental and economic challengesworldwide.Conventional disposal methods such as landfilling lead to land scarcity, soil contamination, and greenhouse gas emissions. Recyclingdemolitionmaterials as pavement construction materials offers a sustainable alternative, reducing the consumption of natural aggregatesandmitigatingenvironmental impacts. This paper reviews the properties, processing, and performance of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), reclaimedasphaltpavement (RAP), brick debris, and mixed C&D waste in flexible and rigid pavements. Laboratory and field studies demonstratethat appropriatelyprocessed demolition materials can meet the mechanical and durability requirements for base, sub-base, and surface layers. Thereviewhighlightsfactors affecting performance, such as particle size, moisture content, treatment methods, and binder compatibility. Challenges, includingvariabilityin material properties, contamination, and regulatory limitations, are discussed. Future research directions focus onoptimizingmixdesigns,enhancing mechanical performance, and developing standards for large-scale implementation. This study emphasizes the potential ofdemolitionmaterials to contribute to sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible pavement construction. Keywords: Demolition materials; recycled concrete aggregate; reclaimed asphalt pavement; pavement construction; sustainablematerials;C&Dwaste recycling
