The work plan is structured into four main stages, collaboratively coordinated between Univeristy of São Paulo (USP) and Univeristy of Antwerp (UA). Initially, WP1 (Bio-based Materials Framework) establishes the project's comparative basis, focusing on regional biomass (sugarcane and hemp/straw). Subsequently, WP2 (Processing), led by the Belgian team, focuses on the validation of foaming…
The incorporation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in the production of new asphalt mixtures to compose pavement layers represents a significant alternative to the use of virgin materials, providing economic, social, and environmental benefits. The recycling of asphalt mixtures aims to establish a sustainable cycle of reuse of non-renewable natural resources, reducing the demand for ne…
Bio-based materials for paving applications have become an attractive option to reduce the consumption of petroleum-derived asphalt materials. This project, established under a collaborative agreement between the University of São Paulo (USP) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), aims to evaluate the characteristics of different bio-based materials from various renewable…
Environmental sustainability and economic benefits motivate maximum use of recycled asphalt materials in asphalt mixtures. According to the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), the United States saved approximately $2.2 billion, in 2017, by replacing virgin materials with 76.2 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and 1 million tons recycled asphalt shingles (RAS). In …
The present research plan proposes a chemical and rheological approach to the analysis of asphalt binders and bio-binders used for pavement surface courses, especially involving the recycling of these materials. The project is divided into five major steps, the first of them being the definition of a methodology for the rheological characterization of the binders and bio-binders, in order…
In light of growing environmental concerns related to waste disposal, pavement recycling has been gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative. This technique reuses paving materials to produce new pavements, minimizing waste generation and the consumption of virgin materials. Several techniques exist for incorporating RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) into new mixtures and applying the…
Biochar, a carbonized material obtained from residual biomass, has shown to be a promising alternative as a sustainable solution for road infrastructure. This research proposes the use of biochar derived from the pyrolysis of sisal waste and sugarcane celulignin as a modifier for asphalt binders. The samples will be prepared in a high-shear mixer and characterized by rheological and chemi…
Biochar, a carbonized material obtained from residual biomass, has shown to be a promising alternative as a sustainable solution for road infrastructure. This research proposes the use of biochar derived from the pyrolysis of sugarcane byproducts as a modifier for asphalt binders. The samples will be prepared in a high-shear mixer and characterized by rheological and chemical analyses, in…
Once reused in the design of a new asphalt mixture, the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) generates sustainable benefits and, due to the high oil prices during the last decades, it has become an increasingly common activity, mostly in countries like the United States, Germany, Netherland and France. Despite this, asphalt mix design hardly uses more than 25% of RAP in their composition. One…
Aligned with the economic aspect, with the changes on the environmental scenario, given the climatic variations and other impacts resultant from anthropic actions, milled material or Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), prevenient from milling of deteriorated asphaltic coatings, proved to be an environmentally advantageous in restoring and building new pavement. Its reuse allows reduction on…
