Evaluating the mechanical performance of Flemish bituminous mixtures containing RA by statistical analysis

Abstract: Currently, reclaimed asphalt (RA) is considered as one of the most recyclable materials in the construction industry of the developed countries. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of RA on manufactured mixtures in Flanders and to define a correlation between RA and mechanical performance through the statistical spectrum. In this study a statistical analysis was carried out on a dataset of 74 bituminous mixtures, certified in Flanders (2009–2016). A bivariate correlation analysis was used to determine the influential factors and the impact on the performance of mix... Mehr ...
