Abstract:

The objective of this study is to quantify the energy and environment impacts from using recycled materials ; for highway construction. Specifically, when recycled asphalt pavement is re-used for producing hot mix ; asphalt or when recycled concrete aggregate is used in concrete, how much energy will be utilized and how ; much are the greenhouse emissions. This study quantified the impact of using recycled asphalt pavement ; (RAP) in hot mix asphalt and recycled concrete aggregate in concrete on energy consumption and ; greenhouse gas emission. For RAP, the impact on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission is ; affected by a few factors, such as moisture content in RAP, hot mix asphalt discharge temperature and RAP ; content. A mathematical model was developed to determine the impact. For recycled concrete aggregate for ; concrete production, impact on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission is largely affected by ; transporting distances. A simple model was also developed for recycled concrete aggregate.
