Extraction of Valuable Products from Flexible Pavement Waste for Productions of Low-Cost Sustainable Concrete Highways
Principal Investigator
Prof. Surender Singh
Objective
- The research aims to create a framework for characterising and recycling RAP materials to enhance sustainability in concrete pavements. To determine the optimal layer of concrete pavements for utilising RAP waste to maximise benefits while minimising energy input.
Description
- Literature Review, Characterization of RAP, Assessing the Effect of RAP on Particle Packing Density, Suitability of RAP as Base Layer Material, Suitability of RAP as Wearing Course Material, Development of Framework for Indian Conditions, Report Writing and Publications
Impact
- This study aims to develop a framework for maximizing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) utilization, benefiting various stakeholders, reducing waste disposal, and promoting sustainability in highway construction. The academic outputs include a Ph.D., research papers, and conference articles. Beneficiaries encompass government agencies, construction industries, environmental conservation, the general public, and academia.
