Laboratory Properties Evaluation of Wearing Course Asphalt Mixtures Incorporating RAP Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using RAP to reproduce new mixtures helps to reduce new material consumption, minimizes the exploitation of natural resources and brings vast benefit in land conservation and environmental protection. The main objectives of this study is to conduct laboratory tests on RAP mixtures with different RAP content, to comprehensively evaluate their engineering characteristics, then to recommend the best suitable RAP mixtures as the local paving materials.
