Towards circular asphalt mixtures
Investigating road materials for a post fossil fuel society
What is?
REcircularPAV is a training-through-research project aiming at engineering cost-effective circular asphalt mixtures for road pavement in a fossil fuel-free society, incorporating very high-content of reclaimed asphalt together with end-of-life tyres and bio-based materials.
Project pillars
Going beyond bituminous asphalt mixtures
Recycling, bio-based materials and end-of-life products
Evaluating predicted performances
Mechanical properties, ageing and sustainability
Objectives
Objectives
REcircularPAV project aims to tailor for the first time engineered circular asphalt mixtures for road pavement materials.
Circular mixture preparation and development
Laboratory, plant and site levels
Circular mixture assessment
Ageing, mechanical and sustainabilty
✓ Engineering low-cost bio-binder with biomass;
✓ Evaluating the designed mixtures during manufacturing and laying processes and produce an end-user manual for practicioners;
✓ Assessing predicted performance by using chemical, morphological and mechanical characterizations;
✓ Evaluating the environmental and economical impact of the technologies.
