Myths of Recycled Asphalt Pavement – LTAP Drop In

Register for the free drop-in on the LTAP website.

Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) has been consistently processed and incorporated into new pavement mixtures since the 1970’s. Since 2009, the National Asphalt Pavement Association has documented a 69% increase in the tons of RAP incorporated into pavement mixtures and a 6% increase in the RAP content of placed pavement mixtures through their annual industry Survey. With RAP continuing to provide cost savings when compared to the use of virgin materials and the performance of higher RAP mixes continuing to be tested to verify performance, come and learn about the use of RAP in pavement mixtures. We’ll cover some of the common misconceptions surrounding the use of RAP and discuss the PennDOT permitted use of RAP, including the use of high RAP contents on low volume roads.
