Enhancing Sustainability in Asphalt Concrete: Utilizing Ceramic Cake Waste and Performance Analysis
Journal Title: Firat University Journal of Experimental and Computational Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The rapid growth of the global population has led to an increased demand for vehicles and industrial products, resulting in heightened production levels. Unfortunately, this surge in production inevitably generates significant amounts of waste, which, when not effectively managed, contributes to environmental pollution and poses challenges for waste storage. To address these pressing concerns, scientific research has been actively exploring ways to repurpose waste materials across various sectors to promote sustainability. This study delves into the innovative concept of incorporating ceramic cake waste (CCW) as an alternative aggregate material in the production of asphalt concrete -a key material in road construction. Our research explored the feasibility of incorporating CCW into asphalt concrete, typically consisting of aggregates and bitumen. We identified a pivotal threshold through rigorous testing and analysis: incorporating up to 20% CCW in asphalt concrete production aligns with industry standards. This approach not only aids in reducing environmental and visual pollution but also optimizes waste storage and resource utilization, ultimately contributing to a healthier environment and improved quality of life. In conclusion, our study takes a significant step towards promoting sustainability in the road construction sector. The findings provide a foundation for the further exploration and adoption of ceramic cake waste reuse in road construction, offering a promising solution and awareness to address the challenges posed by increasing waste generation and the imperative for sustainable development.
