This paper presents the engineering characteristics of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), blended with virgin aggregate for unbound base and subbase layers. The proportions of RAP were 0%, 20%, 60%, 80%, and 100% by total mass of the blend. The experimental laboratory testing included index properties such as gradation, modified Proctor compaction, California Bearing Ratio, and hydraulic conductivity. Repeated load resilient modulus testing was conducted on the blends. The impact of load duration on resilient modulus was also investigated. A strong inverse trend was found between resilient modulus and California Bearing Ratio. An accurate model was proposed for the prediction of the resilient modulus as a function of stress state and reclaimed asphalt pavement percentage with coefficient of determination of 0.94. Finally, multilayer elastic analysis of typical pavement sections with the base layer constructed of virgin aggregate and reclaimed asphalt pavement blends showed good performance.

An improved understanding of the rheological and engineering properties of a rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) pavement that contains reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is important to stimulating the use of these recycled and by-product materials in asphalt mixtures. The uses of RAP and rubberized asphalt in the past have proven to be economical, environmentally sound, and effective in hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures across the US and the world. The objective of this research was to investigate the binder and mixture performance characteristics of these modified asphalt mixtures through a series of laboratory tests to evaluate properties such as the fatigue factor G*sinδ, rutting resistance, resilient modulus, and fatigue life. The results of the experiments indicated that the use of RAP and crumb rubber in HMA can effectively improve the engineering properties of these mixes.

The main purpose is to evaluate the performance of asphalt regarding resilient modulus and fatigue curve.The asphalt was produced with two wastes, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), using the technique of warm mixtures. The evaluation includes, based on these parameters, the thickness differences in the design of asphalt layer for each mixture. Five asphalt mixtures were produced with incorporation of RAP and RCA, in different gradation fractions (fine and/or course), without adding any natural aggregate. In view of the aim of the article, the mixtures were evaluated through tests of resilient modulus and fatigue life, in order to support the design, establishing the necessary thickness to meet traffic demands of each mixture. The design was performed using MeDiNa software. Among all results, it is highlighted that asphalt binder content is the component that exerts the greatest influence on the resilient modulus of the mixtures. As for fatigue, in addition to the binder content, the possible anchoring of the asphalt binder in the pores of the RCA may have favored the performance of the GARC_MRAP mixture. Still, all mixtures with RAP, both in fine or course fraction, resulted in lower coating thicknesses compared to the REF, for the same load request, with better performance of the GARC_MRAP mixture produced with 100 % waste material and incorporation of only 3.1 % neat binder.
