Performance Evaluation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Aggregates in Rigid Pavement: A Review

Abstract

The objective of this study is to understand the importance of using RAP for the construction of bituminous pavements. From this study and from previous research papers it can be concluded that using RAP is advantageous as RAP mixes can yield results equal or even higher than virgin mixes. If calculated and implemented appropriately RAP mixes have a constructive effect on various parameters like Marshall Stability, moisture resistance and density. This paper presents the importance of using RAP mixes.
