The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RA) in new asphalt pavements can provide important economical savings, while reducing the negative environmental impact. The European research project PARAMIX aims to improve the techniques for hot mix recycling in plant and cold mix in situ recycling, so as to increase the amount of reclaimed asphalt and develop competitive road pavement rehabilitation te...

Due to the high price of crude oil, and consequently asphalt binder, the application of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in pavement technology is widely considered. The present paper is the result of a laboratory research which was carried out to investigate the effects of adding a rejuvenating agent to Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) with RAP. To this end, test samples comprised of Aged Asphalt Binder ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Cold recycling technique represents the most environmental friendly solution for pavement rehabilitation nowadays. In fact, this technique allows the use of the highest percentage of reclaimed asphalt avoiding the energy consumption related to aggregates heating required by the traditional hot mix asphalt design. The mix design represents a key phase of the cold mix produc...

The bituminous pavement rehabilitation alternatives are mainly overlaying, recycling and reconstruction. In the recycling process the material from deteriorated pavement, known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is partially or fully reused in fresh construction. Some of the advantages associated with pavement recycling are (i) less user delay (ii) conservation of energy (iii) preservation of...

The use of recycled materials in pavement construction has seen, over the years, a significant increase closely associated with substantial economic and environmental benefits. During the past decades, many transportation agencies have evaluated the effect of adding Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), and, more recently, Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) on the performance of asphalt pavement, whil...

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the waste materials that highway agencies promote to use in new construction or rehabilitation of highways pavement. Since the use of RAP can affect the resilient modulus and other structural properties of flexible pavement layers, this paper aims to employ two different artificial neural network (ANN) models for modeling and evaluating the effects of ...

Reclaimed asphalt pavement is used as an aggregate in the cold recycling of asphalt paving mixtures. The more common method involves a process in which the asphalt pavement is recycled in-place (cold in-place recycling), CIPR. Where the Journal of Engineering Research (University of Tripoli) Issue (20) September 2014 67 reclaimed asphalt pavement is combined without heat with foamed bitumen and...

The present research aims to conduct laboratory assessment on fatigue phenomenon in warm mix asphalt modified with nano-silica and including reclaimed asphalt pavement materials by the aid of review on self-healing behavior and measurement of validity of laboratory results by modeling via neural artificial network in neutral network of SPSS software. For this purpose, 2% weight of sasobit and 3...

Asphalt pavement recycling has grown dramatically over the last few years as the preferred way to rehabilitate existing asphalt pavements. Rehabilitation of existing asphalt pavements has employed different techniques; one of them, cold in-place recycling with foamed asphalt (CIR-foam), has been effectively applied in Iowa. However, Iowa’s current cold in-place recycling (CIR) practice utilizes...

this paper presents the effects of different amounts of reclaimed asphalt on fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. central composite method was used to design of experiments based on response surface method (rsm). binder type (pen 60/70 and pen 85/100), reclaimed asphalt pavement (rap) content (25, 50 and 75%) and loading strain (150, 250 and 350 micro strain) were selected as independent variables...
