Effect of the recycling process and binder type on bituminous mixtures with 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement

There is a great interest in increasing the amount of recycled material used in asphalt mixes because of the beneficial impact on the environment. This is leading to the development of different recycling procedures, from cold in-situ to hot in-plant recycling. The objective of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate cracking resistance of recycled mixes manufactured by three types of processes, i.e., cold with emulsion, hot with high penetration bitumens and hot with emulsion (half-warm mixture), using 100% of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) at different temperatures. Differences in their workability and ease of use are also analysed by gyratory compaction.Peer Reviewe
