Characterization and Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures for Cycle Paths with Cellulose Fiber Obtained from Non-Toxic Sanitary Waste

Abstract

This article will try to implement an ecological pavement using paper cellulose obtained from the recycling process of non-toxic sanitary waste, in order to combat environmental problems and make better use of this desire, thus preventing its increase in dumps or landfills. Therefore, tests were carried out to determine the optimal percentages of recycled paper cellulose that should be added to obtain an asphalt mixture that meets the proper parameters to be used, in this case focused on the realization of bicycle lanes. This would represent a benefit for the environment, which aims to create awareness in people, showing them the type of civil works that could improve from an adequate recycling process. Our study implements the RAMCODES methodology, which optimizes the production of briquettes, considerably reduces their number and guarantees a good result, giving way to this methodology that can be used in the future for new studies and that these are carried out in a faster and with guaranteed results.
