Abstract

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavements (RAP) obtained from demolished road utilized in hot mix asphalt blends has developed into a standard practice in numerous nations around the globe. Utilization of these materials in the past has end up being environment friendly as well as economical. Fusing RAP in virgin materials has been preferred over virgin materials in the light of the increasing cost of bitumen, shortage of good aggregates, shortage of bitumen binder and constraining need to safeguard the environment. The utilization of RAP is viable in improving the performance which is similar to fresh blends. . This study was done so as to learn quality of bituminous blend in surface course utilizing various percent of RAP and to discover optimum percent of RAP for BC course. For this study, RAP was collected from the road in the region of Bhilwara. At first the amount of RAP and new aggregates are to be mixed so that the resultant gradation of aggregates complies with the BC according to MORTH and the amount of bitumen binder are changed in accordance to fulfill the desired or ideal amount of the objective blend utilizing the soft grade bitumen without utilizing any rejuvenator.
