ENSURING QUALITY OF RECYCLED ASPHALT CONCRETE

Specifications related to the control of the quality of hot-mix recycled asphalt-concrete pavements have become increasingly important in recent years. The specifications developed and used by the Florida Department of Transportation to ensure that a high level of quality is maintained during the design and construction process are discussed. The need for control of the uniformity of the mix is stressed with corresponding recommended specifications for the measurement of viscosity levels of the reprocessed binder material. Performance as well as economic and energy considerations are discussed. Recommendations are also given for using strength equivalencies equal to those of the conventional paving mixtures. (Author)
