DetailsOct 13, 2022· A section of control pavement using polymer-modified asphalt will be installed next to the plastic road. The project will also evaluate various high recycled asphalt (RAP) mixes using 50-percent RAP. Testing of the high RAP mixes will provide HDOT with the data necessary to more than double the percentage of recycled asphalt …
DetailsJul 11, 2018· What Are the Main Uses of Recycled Asphalt? Recycled asphalt replaces the need for (or new) asphalt in any project or roadway. RAP can be used in virtually any mix (pending the mix follows best practices), including the following: Base; Fill; Shoulders; Alleys; Potholes; Utility cuts; Any application where cold patch is traditionally …
DetailsMar 08, 2016· (1) A second method (hot in-place recycling) involves a process in which asphalt pavement surface distress is corrected by softening the existing surface with heat, mechanically removing the pavement surface, mixing it with a recycling or rejuvenating agent, possibly adding asphalt and/or aggregate, and replacing it on the pavement …
