Environmental optimization of warm mix asphalt (WMA) design with recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) inclusion through artificial intelligence (AI) techniques

Warm Mix Asphalts (WMAs) are asphalt concretes produced at lower temperatures than traditional Hot Mix Asphalts (HMAs).Nonetheless, the above is not enough to diminish the environmental impacts associated with the road infrastructure industry.Accordingly, incorporating Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) as a partial replacement for Natural Aggregate
