The reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has become a moderately common practice in most countries; Hence, rejuvenating materials with RAP have earned publicity in the asphalt manufacturers, mainly due to the increasing raw material costs. In this study, the crumb rubber (CR) and waste frying oil (WFO) utilized as waste materials to restore the properties and enhance the rutting resistance of the RAP. Several physical, rheological, chemical properties of bituminous binders were tested. The result showed that the RAP bituminous binders incorporating WFO and CR decreased softening points and the increased penetration value; these translate to an increase in penetration index. Moreover, the viscosity of the WFO/CR combination reclaimed asphalt pavement binder showed better workability and stiffness, as well as a low storage stability temperature (less than 2.2 °C) with an acceptable loss upon heating. Without chemical reaction was observed between the waste-frying oil with the rubberized binder and the reclaimed asphalt pavement binder. Additionally, the WFO/CR rheological properties combined with the reclaimed asphalt pavement binder were comparable to the control sample. The incorporation of CR with WFO as a hybrid rejuvenator enhanced the rutting resistance. Therefore, the presence of WFO/CR has a considerable influence on the RAP binder properties while preserving a better environment and reducing pollution by reusing waste materials.

Researchers are exploring the utilisation of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) as a recycled material to determine the performance of non-renewable natural aggregates and other road products such as asphalt binder, in the construction and rehabilitation stage of asphalt pavements. The addition of RAP in asphalt mixtures is a complex process and there is a need to understand the design of the asphalt mixture. Some of the problems associated with adding RAP to asphalt mixtures are moisture damage and cracking damage caused by poor adhesion between the aggregates and asphalt binder. There is a need to add rejuvenators to the recycled mixture containing RAP to enhance its performance, excepting the rutting resistance. This study sought to improve asphalt mixture performance and mechanism by adding waste frying oil (WFO) and crumb rubber (CR) to 25 and 40% of the RAP content. Moreover, the utilisation of CR and WFO improved pavement sustainability and rutting performance. In addition, this study prepared five asphalt mixture samples and compared their stiffness, moisture damage and rutting resistance with the virgin asphalt. The results showed enhanced stiffness and rutting resistance of the RAP but lower moisture resistance. The addition of WFO and CR restored the RAP properties and produced rutting resistance, moisture damage and stiffness, which were comparable to the virgin asphalt mixture. All waste and virgin materials produce homogeneous asphalt mixtures, which influence the asphalt mixture performance. The addition of a high amount of WFO and a small amount of CR enhanced pavement sustainability and rutting 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.

Warm-Recycled Mix Asphalt (WRMA) is a new type mixture that can not only reduces the mixing temperature and exhausting gas emissions but also includes some waste materials (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement, RAP).The compaction characteristics of WRMA were tested, while the compaction temperatures were 140°C, 130°C, 120°C, 110°C, 100°C and the RAP contents were 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60%, respectively. The compaction temperature for each WRMA was recommended according to the test results. Furthermore, this paper also evaluated the performances of each WRMA.

The Cost

One of the most frequently used waste materials is reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The use of RAP can help reduce the cost of a project and ensure that the project is eco-friendly. Therefore, the aim of this study is to give a detailed description of the production of RAP to ensure that the rehabilitation and maintenance of pavements as well as the construction of pavements are environmentally friendly and cost effective. Previous works have shown the benefits of using RAP with regard to its ability to produce equally good or even superior results compared to the use of virgin or original mixes if they are properly produced and applied. Among the benefits of RAP mixes are good moisture resistance and higher density. This review also demonstrate the critical importance of using RAP in asphalt mixtures.

The warm mixed asphalt (WMA) technology has gained a lot of interests in the recent years in academia, state agencies and industries. WMA technology allows reductions in production and compaction temperatures guaranteeing relevant environmental and cost saving benefits. The purpose of the present study was to study and evaluate the performance of a typical additive in WMA pavement with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) on rutting, fatigue cracking and thermal cracking resistance on RI Route 102. In the present study, the asphalt binder was tested at different dosages of additive using Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR), Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO), Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV), Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) and Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR). From the overall test, it was found that 0.7% additive would lessen pavement damage due to rutting, fatigue cracking and thermal cracking. Based on the results of binder test, Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and WMA specimens containing 20 % RAP were prepared using PG 58-28 asphalt binder and Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC). From the volumetric analysis of both HMA and WMA specimens, it was determined that the optimum binder content (OBC) for HMA with 20% RAP was 5.3 percent and the OBC for WMA (0.7% additive with RAP was 5.6%. It was found that the required amount of neat regular asphalt binder for WMA specimen was higher than the one required by HMA. HMA and WMA Specimens with each containing 20% RAP were prepared at OBC and indirect tensile (IDT) strength test were conducted on that specimen. The test indicated that the performance of HMA mixtures was better than WMA with same amount of RAP. RI Route 102 was used as case study in this research study. Route 102 was rehabilitated through Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) in 2015. First half road of RI Route 102 was built with HMA base and surface layer and the other half was built with WMA base and surface layer using a typical additive. It was found that both sections have similar value in Pavement Serviceability Index (PSI) and in International Roughness Index (IRI) at this time. Four specimens were prepared to predict the performance of asphalt pavement using the dynamic modulus and the master curve. Two HMA specimens each were prepared with and without RAP. Similarly, other two WMA specimens were prepared with and without RAP. These four specimens were tested with the Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester (AMPT) machine and developed the master curves for each specimen. The results of the material testing were used to predict the performance of each test sections by using AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PavementME) software. It was found that the WMA-RAP performed better in fatigue cracking resistance but was found to perform poor in rutting resistance than HMA and HMA-RAP. This indicated that fatigue cracking was not a problem with WMA-RAP mixtures whereas rutting resistance still requires further investigation and improvement.
