Motivation for Using RAP & RAS
Reduce carbon footprint of product Conservation of natural resources Conservation of landfill space Stabilize material costs, i.e. raw material costs
continually fluctuate RAS contain sand, (very stiff) asphalt, fiber

Lab Testing and Evaluation
Pronounced differences between MWSS and TOSS (TOSS is stiffer)
Soft binder leads to soft mixture Less rutting observed in RAS mixes (stiffer can
be good) Fracture resistance decreases with increasing
recycled content

in. overlay of full depth asphalt) Cell 16 has two cracks PG 58-28 w/ 30% RAP is starting to
crack

Field Cracking Performance – RAS
![Page 25: Experience with RAP and RAS at the MnROAD Research Facilityncaupg/Activities/2013... · Tim Clyne . NCAUPG Technical Conference . January 23, 2013 . Experience with RAP and RAS at](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030915/5b6008597f8b9aa2388b6a8c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Field Performance Summary
Structural capacity of all cells is similar Ride quality heavily influenced by seasonal
variations and construction Difficult to distinguish between RAP/RAS %
Early cracking is a result of reflective cracking, not thermal cracking
None of the test sections show excessive rutting (not presented here)
