摘要:Global production of construction and demolition waste has significantly increased over the last fewdecades, causing environmental problems due to its uncontrolled disposal. The use of recycled materials has been onthe rise during the same period, primarily for the purpose of sustainable development and protecting the environment.The aim of this work is to study the use of recycled construction and demolition waste aggregates to create hot asphaltmixtures for urban paved roads, which can be an alternative to mitigate the environmental problems derived from theinadequate administration and disposal of this type of waste. For this purpose, several tests were performed to evaluatethe susceptibility of asphalt concrete specimens to moisture damage and plastic deformation. Four different percentages(10–40) of recycled aggregates were used to create asphalt concrete specimens. The volumetric design of the asphaltmixes was based on the Superpave criteria. To accelerate the mix design process, the Ramcodes method, also known asthe polygon of voids method, was used. The test results from this study indicate that the use of construction anddemolition waste aggregates in percentages of up to 20% for paving urban roads is feasible.
