Abstract


Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP);

 Aging of RAP;

 Performance characteristics;

 Physical properties of bitumen; 

 Optimal rejuvenator content; 

 Marshall stability;

 Asphalt mixtures


Sustainable pavement construction is an extensively researched subject within the field of pavement engineering. Due to its environmental and commercial advantages, the construction of pavements utilizing recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is progressively gaining popularity worldwide. Owing to the aging process, binder extracted from RAP is inherently harder than virgin binder and requires rejuvenation for application in high RAP blends. This paper investigates the performance characteristics of Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) and Waste Engine Oil (WEO) as rejuvenators in RAP-incorporated asphalt mixtures to assess their suitability for pavement use. The optimal rejuvenator content is determined based on the performance of physical properties. The study indicates that asphalt mixes rejuvenated with Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) demonstrate higher Marshall Stability values compared to mixes rejuvenated with Waste Engine Oil (WEO) at both 30% and 60% Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) levels. Additionally, mixes incorporating WCO exhibit increased flow values. Furthermore, WCO outperforms WEO in Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) at 30% RAP, with a slight decrease at 60% RAP. Results from Marshall and Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) tests suggest that both WEO and WCO are effective rejuvenators, playing a critical role in aligning the properties of RAP-inclusive asphalt mixes with those of virgin mixes.
