Abstract: Demolished
concrete elements are the main source of Waste Concrete
Aggregates (WCA). Properties of WCA differ from fresh
aggregates due to the cement paste attached to the
surface of natural aggregates. Waste generation is
increasing day by day due to demolition of small
building to construct high rise building for the
accommodation of increasing population. This huge amount
of WCA can be used in road construction. With this view,
study needed to evaluate the performance of bituminous
mix with WCA. For comparison bituminous mix with fresh
aggregates also studied. Engineering properties and
Marshall Test properties were determined in the
laboratory according to AASHTO standards. A definite
design criterion for marshal method has also been
followed. Test results indicate that the dense
bituminous mixes with WCA are found a feasible option
from the standpoint of stability, stiffness,
deformations and void characteristics. According to test
results, WCA can be used in bitumen mixes for pavement
works.
