The road to sustainability passes through the process of recycling a greater amount of asphalt pavement. Inclusion of additional amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new mixes has become a prominent method to promote sustainability. This research addresses some of the challenges related to high RAP content mixes. Among the factors conside

Roadway resurfacing and overlay projects effectively reduce the height of roadside barriers placed adjacent to the roadway, which can negatively affect their crashworthiness. More recently, bridge rails and concrete barriers have been installed with slightly increased heights to account for future overlays. However, adjacent guardrails and approach
