Abstract:
Developing technologies that provide sustainable solutions for future pavement construction is vital given the ever-increasing demand on the supply of bitumen and good-quality pavement construction materials. Recycled Asphalt Pavements (RAP) is a technology that presents many benefits in terms of both cost and environmental savings. The presented paper investigated the use of RAP in New Zealand with the aim of establishing RAP as a standard pavement construction technology. The study findings were used to establish performance standards for RAP mixes in New Zealand.
