Evaluación del comportamiento mecánico de una mezcla asfáltica en caliente con adiciones de pavimento asfáltico (RAP)

Abstract

A sustainable alternative for road infrastructure Works based on the reuse of raw material is exposed, taking into account the environmental, political and cultural problems, as well as the necessity of a better road network in Colombia. Beginning with the potential reuse of aggregates and asphalt cemente, wich compose the structure of roads or highways that are extracted due to road rehabilitation, reconstruction or resurfacing projects, the combination between the traditional road construction methodology used in the civil engineering and the reuse of the mentioned materials that compose the tracks is detailed. The laboratories procedure is exposed, required labs by norm, for quantify the reused materials properties and the modified final product versus the efects that a road structure suffers meanwihile his life’s cicle, and with that compare his performance with an unmodified product performance, that complish whit the required by the norm, and so to determine if the reused materials and the ensemble of the modified final product are apt
