• In 2025, California ran six 100%-recycled-asphalt road sections under a heavy-vehicle simulator; rain-triggered base shear failures and poor moisture control caused sections to fail

  10-10-2026 20:14 via article.wn.com
  Recycling an old road into a new one can cut waste, reduce the need for fresh aggregates and extend the life of asphalt materials. But a large-scale California experiment in 2025 produced a more complicated result. When pavement made with 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement was subjected to simulated heavy traffic, some sections failed sooner than expected, highlighting the importance of water, construction quality and the strength of the layers underneath.According to the University of California P

• In 2024, Bangladesh tested a road made with shredded plastic bags and bottles; during a heat wave, it showed no visible cracking, while other roads showed visible distress

It softens as temperatures go up, and in high heat it can melt. When heavy traffic, humid air, and monsoon rain are added, cracks and potholes tend to follow soon after a fresh surface is laid. A Dhaka Tribune report noted that roads in Bangladesh's subtropical climate can develop cracks and potholes relatively quickly.April 2024 highlighted the strain caused by

  Worn out tires reach the end of their useful lives in huge numbers each year, and finding a second use for them is not easy. Researchers in Australia have been exploring whether old tires could go into road construction instead of landfill. Roads are often considered a practical target because they can take in large volumes of material. After testing by the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB), Victoria's transport department has been increasing the use of recycled materials in unbound bases fo
