Abstract

High content reclaimed asphalt (RA) mixtures have been identified as one of the options to reduce the environmental and economic impacts of pavements construction. However, the process of designing and producing high content RA mixtures is challenging and the asphalt industry have serious concerns towards quality and long-term performance these mixtures. In laboratory, several parameters affect mixture characteristic, and if not controlled, may results into inaccurate estimation of performance. This state- of-the-art study aims to identify critical parameters for high content RA mixture production and highlight the effects of these parameters on mixture performance. The mixing parameters adopted in several laboratory studies have been highlighted and compared. The best practices to mix recycled asphalt in laboratory are reviewed in order to optimize the laboratory mixing. Based on review, important considerations for evaluating laboratory performance have been discussed.
