Recycling: a multi-facet world
Recycling in pavement construction : a generic wording and a complex world covering at least 4 different situations
• Proper recycling of road materials (untreated, bituminous, cement materials) without change of function
• Ex: Base course materials base course materials with change of function
• Ex: wearing course materials base course materials In place or after storage
• Re-use of initially non road materials Ex: demolition concrete from buildings, scrap tyres,…
• First use of materials Ex: industrial by-products, waste material (MSWI),…
Main alternative materials considered in SAMARIS
Industrial by-products Slags
• Steel slag (basic oxygen and electric arc)• Air cooled blast furnace slag• Ground granulated blast furnace slag
Coal bottom ash Coal fly ash Foundry sand
“Waste” products (before re-use) Mining waste rock (colliery spoil) Building demolished by-products Municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash Waste glass Scrap tyres
Potential Advantages
• Adequacy of Recycling with the general objectives of Sustainable Development Policy Pav. Const. needs important quantity of “granular”
materials Spare of natural resources Reduction of existing stockpiles Diminution of the storage of new waste materials Less transport of materials (especially, in the case
of in place recycling) : save of energy, less damage to roads, increase of road safety,…
Possibility of economical savings
Difficulties & Potential Dangers
A priori Recycling involves a wide diversity of materials, generally less well controlled and known than standard ones. Those ones must be:
No detrimental to the environment and the health at short term, especially for workers on job site
No detrimental to environment and health at long term, especially to ground water
In accordance with the expected performance of the structure:
• Durability• Properties of the wearing course - skid resistance,…

Precision about performantial approaches for road material assessment
• In terms of road material design, the current practice is based on a mixed approach between : recipe approach performantial approach
• Recipe approach Based on material components (ex: fine, sand, granulates, binder,…) Components specifications Mix design based on the mass or volumetric content of the different components Intensive use of empirical relationships fitted by feed-back from field observation Adapted to standard, well-known (natural) materials and formulae
• Performantial approach Rather based on the direct assessment of the materials themselves Try use as much as possible material models and structural models, for the
prediction of the material behaviour within the structureBetter adapted to innovation and to the introduction of a wide diversity of materials
• The difference between recipe and performantial approaches can be extended to other characterisations than the mechanical one: environment, health,…

Situation in CEEC countries
Recycling road-by productsConclusions
• recycling techniques are known
• better situation in central european countries
• only one recycling method in some countries
• often do not exist appropiate specifications
• road authorities are not well informed
• new technologies introduced by private companies (trial sections)
Situation in CEEC countries
recycling non-road-by products
CONCLUSIONS• only few by-products are widely used:
blast furnace and steel slags (granular or stabilized bases, backfills and embankments)
fly ash (stabilized bases and embankments) mining waste rock (embankments,landscaping and backfills)
• the use of other by-products are almost unkown.• lack of funds for research in new technologies• lack of interest from road authorities
How to improve the situation?
Barriers
• vary from one country to other
• examples of barriers no difficulties for waste disposal environmental considerations financial and economic reasons lack of adequate information on long-term perfomance
of alternative materials lack of standard requirements concerning recycling lack of knowledge of all potential applications
How to improve the situation?
Solutions:• increase and improve existing legislation:
restrictive regulations:• to reduce waste production• to control waste disposal
encouraging sorting, recycling and reuse
• include the use of alternative materials in contracts• increase research and demonstration projects• increase transfer of knowledge among countries

The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Krass Ruhr-University Bochum
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Work Package 4, entitled “Safety and Environmental Concerns in Material Specifications”, is a part of the pavement stream and primarily concentrates on addressing safety and environmental aspects in product standards.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Task 4.3 is entitled “Environmental Annexes to Product Standards”. The aim of task 4.3 is to make proposals how environmental sustainability requirements of road materials could be included in the European Product Standards for road materials in form of an annex.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Justification is derived from the goal of the European Commission to incorporate environmental requirements into the second generation of the European Product Standards for construction materials according to the essential requirement “Hygiene, health and environment”.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
This subject was not a part of the mandates for the different construction materials that have been standardised so far.Therefore the present first generation of European standards for road materials does not include any regulations concerning environmental specifications.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
In relation to the construction materials, the main focus of task 4.3 was on recyclable materials and industrial by-products which can be used as aggregates for unbound and bound mixtures. That means: For natural aggregates, the environmental compatibility is given by default. There is no need for further testing.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Concerning industrial by-products and recycled materials, it has to be ascertained whether very different experience has been gained with the application of these materials in different European countries. In any case, the requirements for these materials do vary significantly.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
In addition to the input from WP 4, input has been derived from other Work Packages of this project, particularly from WP 3 dealing with the assessment of alternative materials.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Concerning recyclable materials, it was found to be advisable to deal not only with mineral construction waste but also to deal separately with bitumen-bound material (reclaimed asphalt) and with tar-bound materials. Tar, especially coal tar and other tar distillates, was used as a binder in the past in many European countries because its hazard was not so well known at that time.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
According to EN 13108-8, reclaimed asphalt is “asphalt, not containing tar, reclaimed by milling of asphalt road layers, by crushing of plates torn up from asphalt pavements or lumps from asphalt plates and asphalt from surplus production”.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
However, there is no European standard for tar bound reclaimed road material which can be defined as:
material containing tar, and possibly bitumen as well, that is reclaimed by milling of bound road layers, by crushing of plates torn up from bound pavements or lumps from bound plates.
Due to higher air pollution by heating tar bound reclaimed road material, this material can only be used in cold mixed base layers and sub-bases with bitumen and/or cement as the binder. This application too needs further examination for environmental reasons.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Starting from the considerations discussed above, some typical drafts for environmental annexes to product standards have been developed, later on represented here by Sabine Boetcher.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Mandate M/ 366 of EC to CEN for Horizontal TC
Development of horizontal standardised assessment methods for harmonised approaches relating to dangerous substances under Construction Products Directive (CPD)
Emission to indoor air, soil, surface water and ground water
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
The EC expects that the response to this mandate shall consist of a comprehensive package of technical reports and of measurement/test standards that are manageable and user-friendly for regulators, product technical specification writers, writers of ETA etc.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Therefore it is obvious that our proposals for annexes to the standards shall include no threshold values.That means for the time being:
Provisions valid at the place of use can be used to assess the suitability of recycled or industrially produced aggregates.
The need for environmental assessment to promote sustainability
Concerning our work, the hope remains that such environmental annexes will expand into the next generation of road product standards in order to enforce the safety and to promote the sustainability when dealing with industrial by-products and recycled materials.

Conclusions
• Too simple approaches for addressing the complex issue of environmental impact evaluation in the long term leads to poor management decisions
• A straightforward, scientifically sound and yet flexible framework covering many materials in various environmental settings is available (methodology approach versus material approach)
• A limited number of leaching tests can provide the crucial answers needed to assess long-term impact from a wide range of materials in a wide range of scenarios and life cycle stages
• For road materials this implies a pH dependence test and a column test for characterisation and a batch test for compliance
• The approach presented for inorganic contaminants is equally applicable for organic contaminants as well as for radionuclides, whenever relevant
Conclusions• The here proposed hierarchy in testing provides the
necessary detail required by regulators and developers of treatment techniques, while at the same time it provides for cost effective compliance and QC testing for industry
• Chemical speciation using mineral solubility, sorption on mineral surfaces and interaction with dissolved and particulate organic matter provides identification of release controlling factors similar among widely different materials to solve problems of undesired release from materials
• Contrary to the current situation in the CPD recycling and "end of life" aspects of road construction materials should be considered under ER3 to ensure sustainability
• Development of a European database/expert system for leaching and composition data to disclose inaccessible information from public domain research and avoid unnecessary duplication of work

Task 4.3: Prototype environmental annex to product standard
Dipl.-Ing. S. BoetcherRuhr-University Bochum
Proceeding
Activities on this task were subdivided into four steps:
(1) Identification of relevant road materials
(2) Identification of appropriate European Product Standards
(3) Identification of hazardous components and appropriate test methods
(4) Formulation of drafts
Step 1 – Relevant road materials
• Differentiation between industrial by-products e.g. municipal
solid waste incinerator bottom ash and recycled materials e.g. crushed mineral
construction waste
• Description of the relevant materials together with the potential applications in road structure 5

With reference to the essential requirement “Hygiene, health and environment” of the Construction Product Directive (CPD) aggregates have to comply with the following specifications. For natural aggregates the environmental compatibility is on principle given. There is no need for further testing. The same can be assumed for boiler slag (BS).For recycled aggregates and industrially produced aggregates the hazardous characteristics according to table 1 and table 2 have to be determined.

Interest in recycling
• Recycling in the asphalt industry since 1970s• Proper recycling of road materials
with or without change in function
• Use of initially non-road materials e.g. demolition concrete, tyres, glass, furnace slag, fly
ashes
• Sustainable development: whole life cycle (EAPA) Health, safety, environment: now and in the future Optimising the use of natural resources
• Potential economic incentives to recycle/re-use
Risk assessment
• Procedures to deal with less ‘well-controlled’ materials than standard materials
• Identification of hazardous components• Nature and concentration• Degree of exposure (dose and duration)
• Occupational exposure to workers, public• Impact on air, water and soil
• Analyses and risk assessment before starting recycling work
• Circumstances that influence the risk
Health, Safety, Environment
• Investigations: Presence of (coal) tar Presence of sulphur Dust derived from pulverisation during
milling off and crushing Fumes arising from heating during mixing Spontaneous ignition during heating Leaching (once in place) Reaction to fire in tunnels
Presence of coal tar in road pavements
• Rather extensive use of coal tar until the 1980s
• High amounts of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
• 16 PAHs are listed as priority pollutants (EPA list) some are well-known for their carcinogenic properties in particular Benzo(a)Pyrene key: determination of PAH
• Limits in European countries are different
Screening methods for PAH
• PAK-marker spray • Stain test with toluene
Visual detection: minimum 5%w of coal tar present in binder
Semi-quantitative method: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) using fluorescence under UV light
Quantitative methods: vacuum sublimation, HPLC, GC-MS
Research: fast and reliable method
• LCPC - test procedure within 6 hours Recovered binders on TLC plate (separation) Precise quantification of individual PAHs by
High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
• Detection limits 2%w coal tar present in the binder (based on 5%w of binder in the asphalt mixture):
• about 260 mg PAHs / kg of Reclaimed Asphalt• about 8 mg BaP / kg of Reclaimed Asphalt
Presence of sulphur
• Sulphur as a substantial part of the asphalt mixture was used in road construction in 1970s
• Sulphur is present in bitumen – however, as part of various molecular structures
• LCPC - test method for total sulphur content in binder: emulsification and ICP-AES analysis
• Further study: How sulphur present? Hazard Risk assessment

Final comments
• Finding a potential hazard should not necessarily mean that the relevant component material cannot be used in asphalt
• Depending on the nature and extent of the hazard, the appropriate actions need to be defined: risk management
Reaction to Fire Performance of Pavement MaterialsDr. Sarah ColwellBRE
Background
Reaction to Fire contribution to the fire
scenario.
An essential requirement under the CPD
Classification - EN 13501-1: 2002
Stage One
Survey of MS Regulators and interested parties
Incidents involving pavement fires
Review Reaction to Fire test methods available
Findings from Stage One
• No specific Regulations or requirements. • Some requirements for tunnel lining materials. • Many expressed an ongoing interest in the
area. • A review of incidents did not identify
pavement material as adding a significant hazard to this type of incident.
• Heat fluxes typically twice standard RTF tests.
Stage Two
Investigate the response of typical pavement material to :
EN ISO 9239-1 (Current CPD flooring fire test)
ISO 5660-1(Cone Calorimeter test)
Pavement Material
Three examples of road pavement materials were identified for investigation, all were manufactured with relatively high levels of organic binder.
60/20 Porous Asphalt Mastic AsphaltDense Bitumen Macadam
Flooring Test - EN ISO 9239-1
Measurements: Flame spread Smoke
Findings: No sustained ignition
outside measuring zone
No sustained flame spread outside measuring zone
No differentiation of product types
Cone Calorimeter – ISO 5660-1
Measurements:• Heat Release Rate• Smoke• Mass lossIrradiance levels:• 35 and 50 kW/m2
Findings:• Critical Flux range 21-28 kW/m2
• Differentiation based on THR - 24/54/87 (PA/MA/DBM) MJ/m2
Summary of Findings (1)
• The cone calorimeter test can discriminate between pavement materials.
• Since EN 13501-1 is primarily reliant upon EN ISO 9239-1 to provide discrimination between classes Bfl and Dfl all three pavement materials have the potential to achieve at least a Bfl classification.
Summary of Findings (2)
• The critical flux values for the pavement materials are typically higher than other flammable materials present in a road vehicle.
• In a confined area such as a road tunnel, the heat flux radiated back from the hot smoke layer and the tunnel walls would higher than in an open environment.
• The data from this study could enhance current modelling studies of fire and smoke issues in transport infrastructure scenarios such as tunnels.

Test Results Obtained
• Previous studies found rough equivalence
• Large size device results counter to small size device results DRI surface course mixture good
deformation resistance rather than bad Both tests in specifications
• Cyclic compression support small size devices
Test Results Obtained
• Factors affecting deformation resistance the angularity of the aggregate particles the frictional properties of the aggregates the grading of the aggregate the voids content of the mixture the binder content of the mixture the viscosity of the binder
• Which explain different rankings?
Possible Developments
• Research• Correlate test results with site experience
Difficult The ideal – if good correlation found
• Identify test parameters causing differences Even more difficult Relate differences to physical situations
• Both options expensive Financially In time
Possible Developments
• Standards• Administratively acceptable
One situation, one test
• Intellectually unacceptable Inconsistent with differences
• Change possible when know truth No point beforehand
Conclusions
• Test results conflict• Current Standards do not allow conflict
EN 13108-20 defines single method Choice of method not rational
• Research needed Correlate test results with site experience Identify relevant tests for each situation
• Possible revisions needed to parts of EN 13108 and EN 12697

Colliery spoil / mining waste rocksOriginIt is referred for this digest to:
By-products originated in the exploitation of coal and anthracite shafts and mines, as well as those resulting from the coal wash activities.
• mine spoils:Waste material from exploitation of shafts and mines (basically fitting rocks from coal layers: carbonaceous shale and sandstones) (10%)
• washery spoils:Waste material obtained after coal wash (90%)
• dump spoils• the result of stocking MS and WS
unburnt: Resulting from the burnt: The result of the auto-combustion of the coal included
in the unburnt spoils. Reddish colour and higher strength
