Abstract
The effects of using waste engine oil (WEO) and waste cooking oil (WCO) as rejuvenators on some engineering properties of asphalt concrete containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) have been studied. 10% (by the weight of total binder) of the rejuvenators has been added to asphalt concrete containing 25%, 50% and 75% (by the weight of aggregate) of RAP, and the Marshall properties, indirect tensile strength (ITS), permanent deformation and fatigue properties of the mixtures have been evaluated. The effect of rejuvenators on Marshall properties depends on RAP content and type of rejuvenator, with higher values for the mixtures containing WEO. The ITS of the mixtures increase with increasing RAP content, and decreases with increasing rejuvenators content. Addition of WEO results in lower accumulated strain in the mixtures than adding WCO. In addition, the accumulated strain in the mixtures containing 50% of RAP is higher than that in the mixtures containing 25% and 75% of RAP. The fatigue life of the mixtures was found to increase with increasing RAP content and decrease by addition of rejuvenator with a higher reduction for the WCO. In general, it is concluded that using the rejuvenators enables using higher RAP content in recycled asphaltic mixtures.
