ABSTRACT:Chen summarizes recent research on asphalt with high content of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). A test road was constructed,and the design, production, construction, and performance characteristics were assessed. Chen describes the challenges facing the paving industry, discusses the lessons learned from this experience, and develops quality guidelines for inclusion of high RAP content. Understanding the practical applications of high RAP content asphalt mixtures enables us to enhance pavement durability and to preserve as virgin aggregate and asphalt binder.
