1. Asphalt Issues AASHTO SCOC Virginia Beach, Va. By Victor (Lee) Gallivan FHWA August 2, 2011

2. HMA Topics for the Day Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Updated Thin 4.75 mm surface mixture Construction Specifications for IC

3. Recycled Materials Survey Conducted through AASHTO SOM List Serve. Sent end of December 2010. Various questions related to RAP, RAS, RCA. 45 state responses plus West Federal Lands and Ontario. Some data used is from 2007/2008 survey due to lack of responses.

4. Survey Survey (cont) Main Survey Questions Allowance of recycled materials (RAP, RAS, RCA) per specifications? Contractors actual usage of recycled materials? Special testing/handling procedures? Research needs, major concerns/obstacles for increased usage of recycled materials?

5. RAP Survey Items of note from survey… RAP Availability – contractor/DOT ownership? WMA - Increased usage during DOT implementation? Stockpiles - Fractionation, captive stockpiles becoming more prevalent?

6. RAP Survey RAP Survey (cont) Research Needs: Needed dwell time for mixing? Mix performance tests (long-term durability, thermal cracking, f/t resistance). Binders - bumping, blending, stiffness/cracking, interaction with polymers. Determining RAP binder properties. Skid resistance.

9. Since 2007/2008 Survey… RAP % allowed by percentage has stayed pretty consistent for DOT’s. For RAP utilization by contractors, it appears the 20-30% usage has increased the most with all other percentages staying pretty much the same.

10. RAS Survey Items of note from survey… Sources – pre/post consumer supply (about 50/50). Special Requirements – gradations, asbestos testing.

11. RAS Survey RAS Survey (cont) Research Needs % binder contribution Mix performance testing Binder bumping, blending Fatigue and low temperature cracking Use in WMA? Use of rejuvenators Binder impacts
