Abstract

Have you recently driven on reclaimed pavement? Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is the term used to describe pavements constructed with reprocessed materials that contain asphalt and aggregates, now routinely used in nearly all 50 states of the United States. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates that each year nearly 30 million tons of RAP are recycled in combination with hot-mix asphalt pavements, saving taxpayers more than $300 million annually by reducing material costs and disposal expenses but, can RAP be incorporated into the construction of asphalt pavements using Superpave mix design techniques?
