Fatigue Characterization of Plant Produced High Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixtures
Project Information
This project applied contemporary laboratory tests to ascertain whether increased reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content negatively impacts fatigue cracking resistance when subjected to long-term aging. A key distinction is that the materials are real world production mixtures from full-scale asphalt plants rather than laboratory prepared mixtures. Five mixtures were characterized in all, with two asphalt performance grades (PG64-22 and PG58-28) and varying RAP contents (0%, 15%, 25%, 40%).
Goal
The key project objective is to quantify the impact of RAP content on fatigue cracking resistance.
