Abstract

Introduction. Mineral powder is an important structural component of asphalt concrete. Mineral powder is the output material obtained after crushing of rocks or powdery remains of the industry. It is made by grinding the following hard rocks: dolomitized limestone, dolomite, limestone. Non-carbonate raw materials and industrial wastes are also used as raw materials. Problem statement. Road construction with the arrangement of asphalt concrete pavements requires a number of components of these mixtures. Due to this, the need in scarce carbonate mineral powders is growing. Therefore, it is advisable to consider researches directed on studying a number of by-products of industry in order to use them as a mineral powder of asphalt concrete. Purpose. To analyze the existing experience of using industrial waste as a mineral powder in production of asphalt concrete mixture for further introduction and improvement of environmental safety and operational characteristics of pavement due to new road construction materials. Materials and methods. Analysis of information sources and experience in the use of industrial waste as a mineral powder and study of requirements for materials and their composition. Results. An analytical review of the experience of using industrial waste as a mineral powder was performed. Various materials have been studied and analyzed, requirements for materials, their particle size distribution, content in asphalt concrete mixture had been established. Conclusions. Analysis of information sources regarding use of industrial waste as a raw material for the production of mineral powder had determined that they are used in the whole volume in different countries and in most cases in road construction. It had been found that the use of various wastes during road construction is a viable option that needs further study.
