Abstract

The construction industry is constantly seeking alternative solutions for sustainable road construction. In this context, the use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) as a partial replacement material in the production of paving tiles is gaining popularity due to its potential for eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions. This review paper focuses on the development of paving tiles for low volume roads made by partial replacement by RAP, with a specific emphasis on the replacement of coarse aggregate with recycled aggregate from bituminous pavements. The paper provides a literature review of relevant studies and research, as well as a detailed discussion of the design considerations for paving tiles using RAP for low volume roads. The laboratory tests used to evaluate the structural properties, including strength, hardness, and durability, and the accelerated weathering tests used to evaluate sustainability and recycling are also discussed. The paper concludes with a critical analysis of the findings, emphasizing the potential for cost-efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The use of paving tiles for low volume roads made by partial replacement by RAP with recycled aggregate can lead to a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to road construction.
