Abstract: The performance of conventional or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes depends on the properties of the virgin and RAP binders. The fundamental characteristics of different materials often are used to explain the ...

Abstract: Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes generally have good moisture and rutting resistance. However, the fatigue performance of the RAP mixes is a matter of concern because the RAP binder is generally brittle because of ...

Abstract: The healing properties of bituminous mixes prepared using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material are different from those of virgin mixes because the chemical characteristics of RAP binder blends are different (depending ...

Abstract: The proportion of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) bitumen that gets activated and coats the virgin aggregate during the initial stage of plant production of RAP mixes, in which the RAP material is initially mixed with ...

Abstract: Many of the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) mix design methods assume 1% blending of the RAP binder with virgin binder to estimate the properties of the binder in the RAP mix. However, 1% blending is not practically achieved. ...

Abstract: The present study aims to explain the dependency of different mechanical properties [penetration, softening point, viscosity, and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) parameters] and chemical parameters of reclaimed-asphalt ...
