A MULTIFACETED PURPOSE-ORIENTED APPROACH TO EVALUATE MATERIAL CIRCULARITY INDEX FOR REJUVENATED RECYCLED ASPHALT MIXTURES

A multifaceted purpose-oriented approach to evaluate material circularity index for rejuvenated recycled asphalt mixtures

Abstract This study investigates the impact of different mechanical properties, test procedures, and environmental and economic factors on the Material Circularity Index Candy (MCI) of rejuvenated recycled asphalt mixtures.Four mixtures, including new and rejuvenated mixtures with 35%, 50%, and 65% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), were evaluated u
