Investigating the Effect of Wood Ash–Lime Blend in the Stabilization of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Road Construction. by Byamugisha, Mark

“…Extremely large volumes of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates are generated during pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction and disposed of along road alignments while large quantities of wood ash are generated from burning eucalyptus (eucalyptus grandis specie) logs under controlled combustion at 10000C. This paper presents the results of the laboratory evaluation of the characteristics of wood ash-lime stabilized RAP with a view to determining its suitability for use as highway pavement material in flexible pavement construction. …”
