Use Of Various Recycled Materials In Repairing In Rigid Pavement

Abstract

Use of recycled materials in pavement construction as a filler material is an innovative step towards sustainable development. Waste or recycled materials like plastic, fly ash and recycled aggregates are used as components of concrete to produce a cementous material, which is used to fill road patches. With the evolution of the road industry and growing traffic on roads, construction materials have also been evolved. The scarcity of conventional natural materials and the jeopardized environment which have underpinned the tendency materials resources to be incorporated in the road industry. Several waste by-products and materials have been investigated, assessed, evaluated for utilizations, and practiced in the field. Depending on the attributes of the characteristics of the recycled material, the inclusion varies. Some recycled materials have been proven to possess preferable properties over the other and have performed satisfactorily in the field as a filler material.
