UTILIZATION OF RECYCLED MATERIALS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Abstract
Sustainable and ecofriendly engineering requires the use of high amounts of recycled materials. Extensive amounts of building materials required for construction of roads facilitates the use of recycled old surfaces from the ecological and economical point of view. Reconstruction and development of new roads requires acquisition and processing of different materials such as: soils, aggregates acquired from unbound layers, concrete and asphalt surfaces, and particularly hazardous surfaces with tar bonding agent. After proper processing the materials can be enhanced, resulting in a full-value building material for road construction. In Poland, due to increased number of carried out national and secondary road investments, recycled aggregates are extremely topical issue. The increased demand for various construction materials caused by the investments has a negative effect on the surrounding environment. Increased demand results in increased prices of construction materials. Therefore, it is important to utilize recycled materials. The publication presents various methods of processing old surfaces, available technologies and specification of processed materials.
