“…Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the data analysis in this studies, RSM is a new approach accepted for analysis in pavement engineering [4,[15][16][17]. RSM is a statistical tool used for predicting the relationship between factors and responses and also in the analysis of problems [18], it also provide a maximum process performance using designed experiments, historic data and polynomial equations [18].…”

“…The resulted moisture damage may occur as mechanisms such as pore pressure, hydraulic scour, spontaneous emulsification, displacement and detachment [3]. Although traffic loading, moisture and other environmental factors are blamed to be responsible for moisture damage, the quality of paving mixture is also a determinant of the failure [4].…”

“…While for the dependent parameter rutting, the independent parameters test temperature was also varied in three levels (40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C), and the same levels were utilized as that of the stiffness for IWPET amount, as presented in Table 4 . The levels and ranges of the independent factors utilized were chosen based on the standard requirements and selected works of previous studies [ 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 45 , 47 , 52 , 53 , 54 ].…”

The utilization of waste polyethylene terephthalate (WPET) as aggregate substitutes in pavement has been extensively promoted because of its environmental advantages. However, previous studies have shown that a high percentage of WPET reduces the performance of the pavement. To increase the durability of pavement and mitigate the environmental issues caused by WPET, WPET is treated with gamma-irradiation as a component in asphalt mixtures. The study objectives were to investigate the feasibility of using WPET granules as a sustainable aggregate on asphalt mixture stiffness and rutting and predict the asphalt mixture performance containing irradiated WPET via an RSM-ANN-framework. To achieve the objectives, stiffness and rutting tests were conducted to evaluate the WPET modified mixtures’ performance. The result indicated that samples containing 40% irradiated WPET provided a better performance compared to mixtures containing 20% non-irradiated WPET, increasing the stiffness by 27% and 21% at 25 °C and 40 °C, respectively, and rutting resistance by 11% at 45 °C. Furthermore, both predictive models developed demonstrated excellent reliability. The ANN exhibited superior performance than the RSM. The utilization of WPET as aggregate in asphalt mixtures represents a way to addressing related recycling issues while also improving performance. With gamma-irradiation treatment, the utilization of WPET can be increased with improved asphalt mixture performance.

“…Because of the rapid increasing demand for natural petroleum products such as bitumen and its unstable price and also it's severe effect on our environment as well as the health of pavement workers. Researchers, Engineers and pavement industries need to find new products and materials [3]. They must not just rely on traditional routes, but need ingenuity to develop new ideas to use and reuse resources in different ways, and to look for new solutions to old problems of high demand for liquid asphalt is increasing rapidly and petroleum oil reserves becoming depleted.…”

Abstract. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) usage has increased recently due to the decreasing supply of liquid asphalt and concerns over adverse health effects when making use of petroleum-based/chemical recycling agents which increased the need for bio-based recycling agents designed to return the RAP binder to its original state. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of using jatropha curcas oil (JCO), which is a non-edible oil (do not compete with the food chain) that cannot be used for nutritional purposes due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors, such as phorbol esters, as a bio-base rejuvenating agent for aged bitumen. The physical properties and storage stability of the bio-oil, original bitumen, aged bitumen and rejuvenated bitumen were measured. The results of the investigation indicated that the bio-oil have potential to rejuvenate aged bitumen to condition that resembled the original bitumen, the use of the bio-oil show benefits from both health and environmental perspectives. Also the rejuvenated bitumen was found to be very stable in term of storage.
