9.3 REUSE OF RECLAIMED ASPHALT

9.3.1 Field Recovery of RAP

1 The main properties of RAP are the age of binder, grading and properties of aggregate.
RAP needs to be consistent and of known properties to optimise its level of use
efficiently. Thus, processing the RAP to create a consistent raw material feed is a
critical component of the total process and essential to the mix design.

2 The use of RAP shall be systematic and properly controlled starting by the milling
process passing by adequate transportation, sieving and stockpiling. The asphalt
mixture designs shall be optimised by using certain percentage of RAP which at
the same time provides equivalent or better level of performance as the one
obtained when asphalt mixtures are produced using virgin aggregates.

3 Milling is the best method of recovering RAP from existing asphalt pavement
surfaces. RAP must not be contaminated with underneath layers (e.g. subbase or
subgrade). Also, when milling a certain asphalt layer, a thin cushion of existing
layer shall remain un-milled to prevent any potential contamination.

4 Milled materials shall be kept clean and segregated in separate stockpiles before
further processing.

9.3.2 Processing of RAP

1 Processing must be carried out to recover original aggregate grading of recovered

material while aggregates remain coated with bitumen; this is referred to as
granulation. Crushing of RAP causes fractured faces and result in a lower acceptable
RAP percentage in the final mix.

2 Generally, the best recyclable fractions are in the finer range. RAP is first screened to
fine fractions since more bitumen is present in fine aggregates. Oversize, slabs and
dig out materials are passed through a granulation process to form smaller particles
without crushing to avoid generation of excessive fines. Granulated materials can be
screened to the correct sizes.

3 RAP fractions shall be assessed by determining materials properties for both binder
and aggregate. This is to obtain successful asphalt mixtures with optimum RAP
content. Mix design optimization is essential and mixes with RAP shall be engineered
for favorable outcomes.

9.3.3 Testing of Reclaimed Aggregate

1 Summary of tests for reclaimed aggregate are provided in Table 9.8:

2 Adjustment of blended grading with virgin binder shall be made with an approved
rejuvenation agent to create a combined binder of no more than one PG grade higher
than the required virgin grade. Take traffic, shear and actual temperature maximum
into account.

3 RAP binder shall be extracted from the RAP where toluene is used for the chlorinated
solvent for a complete extraction by rotary evaporator. After extraction, the recovered
binder is tested for rheology and composition and compared to the database.

(a) 0-10% RAP

Use MS-2 Marshall design criteria. Rejuvenation and performance tests are not
required.

(b) 10-15% RAP

Use MS-2 Marshall design criteria. Gyratory compactor shall be used instead of
Marshall compactor.

(c) 15-30% RAP

Use MS-2 Marshall design criteria. Gyratory compactor shall be used instead of
Marshall compactor.

2 Asphalt mix design guidelines shown in Table 9.10 are recommended for asphalt
mixes include RAP.

The mix design must be done using the Superpave methodology and meet all the requirements
of QCS and the Project Specific Specifications. Trial blends shall be undertaken to optimise
packing. QSD will review the mix design for suitability and approval.

Suitability for traffic will be approved by the engineer and based on performance testing
recommendations by QSD.

The RAP must be fractionated to 3-4 fractions and recombined to meet the needs of the mix
design and production.

The RAP binder must be extracted and theologically characterised to determine the
rejuvenation requirement either by additive or with virgin binder addition in the design.

The consistency of RAP stockpiles must be established to ensure correct total binder content.

9.3.6 Manufacturing of RAP Mixes

1 RAP shall not be heated with virgin aggregate. Addition of a preheater for RAP can
assist in optimization of mix temperature. Rejuvenation agent can be sprayed onto
the RAP feed or dosed with bitumen.

2 For batch plants and continuous plants, a cold fed system is essential with separate
RAP bins. In batch plants, a conveyor system into the pugmill may be used. This
limits RAP to about 25%.
