Analyses of cement mortars containing reclaimed asphalt pavement by using DTA/TG and FTIR

Abstract

The reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is used in the study as a recycled material for the production of cement composite. 5 %, 10 % and 15 % of RAP was added to the cement to produce samples. TG/DTA analyses, performed after flexural analyses, revealed that the minimum mass loss occurred in the samples with 5 % RAP additive at stable conditions. The highest mass loss was 11.8 %, and the second highest value amounted to 8.2 % for samples with 15 % of C additive cured in MgSO4 environment.
