“…The incorporation of waste in the use of alternative forms has shown satisfactory results according to the literature, [2][3][4] as in the case of the use of ash from sugarcane bagasse in the area of civil engineering, through additions and partial replacements of aggregates and binders, in asphalt, concrete, mortar, ceramic materials and soil.…”

In road works, there are cases in which natural soils have inadequate characteristics for their intended use, especially clayey or fine ones, which leads to the need to find stabilization methods that allow the soil to present itself as a suitable material for its application. Thus, the ash, residue generated in the sugar and alcohol industry from the burning of sugarcane bagasse and which often does not have an adequate destination, becomes an attractive material due to its granulometry and chemical composition. Thus, the objective was to study the feasibility of correcting the granulometric curve of the fine soil from Maringá-PR with the addition of sugarcane bagasse ash, seeking to analyze the influence of this correction through granulometric analysis, particle density, limit of liquidity and plasticity, Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and Highway Research Board Classification (HRB) and compaction curve. The results showed that the incorporation of ash in the fine soil remodeled the granulometric curve, making it similar to that of a sandy soil. According to the HRB and USCS classifications, the soil was shown as an A-7-5 soil or high compressibility silt and the mixture as an A-6 soil or clayey sand. There was also a reduction in the group index, in the limits of liquidity and plasticity, as well as in the optimal compaction moisture. Therefore, the addition of ash to the soil resulted in an increase in texture quality and plasticity. Since, for road applications, a correlation was found between the addition of ash and the increase in the quality of the mixture as a subgrade material.

“…This reutilization also reduces the consumption of mined aggregates, mitigating carbon generation and the impact of the paving industry on the environment (Choudhary et al, 2020). The incorporation of waste in the use of alternative forms has shown satisfactory results in the development of pavements, according to the literature, as in the case of the use of sugarcane bagasse ash in the production of asphalt mixtures (Zainudin et al, 2016;Huwae et al, 2016;Garcia, 2017;Kumar et al, 2019;Akshay et al, 2020;Fareed et al, 2020;Ganesh & Rai, 2021), through partial replacements of aggregates or added to the binder agent.…”

Gap-graded aggregate combined with asphalt rubber is a high-performance alternative for roads with high traffic volumes which offers advantages over other conventional mixtures in terms of permanent deformation (rutting), fatigue life and texture. In this study, which made use of the already known mixture, conventional filler was replaced by sugarcane bagasse bottom ash (SCBA) at the proportion of 5% of the total mineral aggregates. The aim was improving the mechanical performance of asphalt coating and, at the same time, making sure that this type of waste will have an adequate destination. The residue, which was lighter, finer and rougher than conventional filler, changed the volumetric properties of the Marshall design, which means that the volume of voids in mineral aggregates and the voids filled with asphalt were increased considering the same volume of air voids (5.3%). Thus, there was an increase in the Marshall Stability (40%) and Indirect Tensile Test (22%) mechanical parameters. After laboratory analysis, the mixtures were applied as asphalt coating to a field of a high-traffic highway (BR-158). Field specimens showed that the modified mixture had an increase of 18% in the Resilience Modulus (4,088 MPa; 3,478 MPa). In addition, its Flow Number was 73% higher (16,707; 9,681) and its permanent deformation rate was 28% lower within 10,000 cycles in the dynamic creep test, which was corroborated by an 11% smaller permanent deformation rate in the Hamburg Wheel Tracking Device (HWTD), within 20,000 cycles (3.2 mm; 3.6 mm). Finally, it can be stated that partial replacement of conventional filler by sugarcane bagasse ash, within the established granulometric range, has proven technical feasibility both in laboratory and in the field.

“…There is a quest for researchers to make the alternative solution of natural virgin aggregates and environment protection. Replacement of fresh virgin aggregate by reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in the construction of pavement layers could be a sustainable solution to this quest and alternative way of using the waste and making it valuable in addition (Antunes et al , 2021; Patil et al , 2020).…”

Purpose Natural good-quality sources of aggregates are depleting, whereas large amount of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is produced annually. Safe disposal and use of RAP in the cold in-place recycling (CIR) using foamed bitumen could be sustainable approach where milling and mixing operations are accomplished simultaneously. This will not only help in minimizing contamination (probability) and transportation cost but also reduces the carbon footprints. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the scope of RAP utilization up to 100% and further its effect on the behavior of reclaimed asphalt foamed bituminous mix. Design/methodology/approach Reclaimed asphalt foamed bituminous mix (FBM) is still a new technique. The evidence of performance of 100% recycled pavement (CIR) is only anecdotal and lacks in systematic guidelines and literatures. Foam binder coating around the aggregates is also a concern. Therefore, this study is mainly emphasized to investigate the scope of RAP use in the FBM up to 100%. RAP content is varied in each trial, i.e. 70, 85, 100 and 0% (only fresh aggregates), to make the FBM. RAP use and its effect on the behavior of FBM in terms of resilient modulus, variation in resilient modulus with curing, rutting performance and the potential of resistance against the moisture damage are addressed. Findings Considering the laboratory studies, it can be accomplished that mechanistic properties and performance of FBM are largely influenced by RAP material and portray less susceptible characteristics against the moisture damage. FBM containing 70% RAP content exhibits maximum resilient modulus. However, use of RAP up to 100% in FBM is satisfying the minimum required specification. Originality/value Overall, the study may be helpful to highway professionals and could generate another possible option of 100% RAP replacing fresh aggregates in the flexible pavements.
