Abstract (2. Language): 
One of the major problems caused by construction and demolition of buildings is the environmental pollution due to the disposal of the large volume of generated waste materials. Therefore, in addition to the protection of environment, the recycling and reusing of the waste materials is an economical measure. One of the applications of the waste materials is for highway construction. In this research, the viability of using the recycled brick powder as a partial or full replacement of mineral filler in asphalt concrete has been investigated. The primary natural siliceous aggregate filler, as control filler, has been replaced in different percentages (25, 50, 75 and 100%), with the secondary recycled brick powder, and the mixtures have been evaluated in terms of, Marshal Stability, flow, indirect tensile strength, moisture damage and volumetric characteristics. The results show that, the Marshal Stability increases and the flow decreases with increasing the brick powder content in the mixture. The results show that full replacement of the natural filler with brick powder, results in the highest resistance against permanent deformation and indirect tensile strength. It is also shown than the mixtures containing brick powder are more resistant against moisture damage than the control mixture. The replacement of the mineral filler with the brick powder does not significantly affect the volumetric properties of the mixture.
