• Abstract:
  Public highway agencies encourage the use of recycled asphalt materials (RAM) in constructing pavements to the maximum extent possible with an equal performance. Low temperature cracking potential is a primary concern with high RAM mixtures, which is caused by the aging of asphalt through the oxidation. To minimize a low temperature cracking, various rejuvenators have been utilized in the past instead of bumping down a PG grade of the specified virgin asphalt for high RAM mixes. Although the current Iowa DOT’s specification allows RAP materials up to 30% with softer binder, limited construction projects have been performed, which utilized more than 20% RAP materials.
