Asphalt Pavement Recycling Technology with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) According to the Standards EN 13108-8 and EN 13108-1

Asphalt recycling technology is a method used to repair roads at a lower cost and with a lower environmental impact than conventional methods. The technology of recycling can reduce the use of new paving materials by recycling the recycled asphalt layer, called Reclaimed Asphalt Paving (“RAP”) which is generated when roads are repaired, to produce recycled asphalt mixtures and use these mixtures again for road paving. RAP material is the main component of new recycled asphalt mixes, the characteristics of this material must be in accordance with the National and European specifications (EN 13108-8). One of the characteristics of RAP material is its heterogeneity. Thus, the RAP material used in the laboratory is reduced by quaternization, according to EN 932-1 and EN 932-2 standards, in order to obtain samples that accurately represent the studied RAP. In this work, it is described the recycling of asphalt, where its improvement has the purpose of re-use in road paving projects. The set of laboratory analyses control performed gives us the necessary data which determine the characteristics of the reclaimed asphalt pavement. With the obtained mass of the recycled asphalt, we performed the tests for the evaluation of density, stability and Marshall Flow test. Form the results that we compared to the existing asphalt, we can conclude that the Reclaimed Asphalt Paving (“RAP”) processed asphalt is a very good and profitable alternative for road paving projects.
