National Asphalt Pavement Association RAP: Cost Savings

milling the existing roadway to crush and size the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). The RAP is then mixed with TechniSoil's G5 liquid plastic polymer binder, which is made in part of discarded plastic bottles, and the recycled mixture is immediately paved back onto the roadway. Consultation With Selected Experts

RAP material cost savings have already begun in Nebraska. From 2008 to 2019, the Nebraska Department of Transportation used, on average, 39% RAP in its asphalt road paving mixes.

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) •Asphalt is the Most Recycled Material in America Saving More Than $300 Million Annually. •73 Million Tons Reused Annually. -Nearly twice as much as paper, glass, aluminum & plastics combined. •RAP in Landfills: - Less Than 10% nationally. -Less Than 1% in Ohio.

Asphalt recycling starts with recycled asphalt, which contains reprocessed pavement. According to the Federal Highway Administration, reclaimed asphalt (otherwise known as RAP) starts with old, broken or damaged asphalt. "Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) describes removed and/or reprocessed pavement materials containing asphalt and aggregates.

Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is the largest recycled good inside the u. s. and eighty million tons ar recycled yearly, saving taxpayers about $1.5 billion bucks. This paper explores the possibility of utilizing 100 percent RAP materials in asphalt pavement. Asphalt mixtures are created at 135°C in a typical asphalt plant. However, at

Vehicles traveling on smooth pavements consume up to 4.5 percent

According to the 2018 National Asphalt Pavement Association's (NAPA) Asphalt Pavement Industry Survey on Recycled Materials and Warm-Mix Asphalt Usage, Illinois uses between 23 - 28% RAP annually with about 3.9 million tons of RAP stockpiled. Asphalt mixtures containing recycled materials can be designed to meet and exceed the requirements as

The use of RAP in new asphalt concrete mixtures can result in cost savings for both aggregate and asphalt binder. When properly utilized in mix design and production, lower costs can be realized without a sacrifice in the serviceability of the pavement. However, cost savings may not be realized by the owner and there may be a loss in

For an asphalt concrete (AC) mix, the percentage of asphalt binder that is substituted by recycled asphalt binder from RAP or RAS is known as the asphalt binder replacement (ABR) ratio. Environmental performance of pavements constructed with RAP and RAS is often expressed in terms of energy and GHG savings at the material production

The use of RAP and RAS alone resulted in cost savings of more than $2.1 billion compared to the use of materials. "Although we are seeing continued increases in the use of recycled materials in asphalt pavement mixtures," stated Dan Gallagher, 2017 NAPA Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of Gallagher Asphalt Corp. of Thornton

reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a valuable component in HMA. As a result, there has been renewed interest in increasing the amount of RAP used in HMA. While a number of factors drive the use of RAP in asphalt pavements, the two primary factors are economic savings and environmental benefits. RAP is a

In recent years the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement construction has become more widespread. The use of RAP is desirable to both contactors and agencies due to the recognized cost savings in a recycling operation. Cost savings increase as higher RAP percentages are being used. However, physical

In the UK, it is estimated that for a typical asphalt plant the WMA technology installation costs are low compared to other means of reducing emissions and the payback period is up to one year (Carbon trust, 2010). Higher RAP use, which may be realized by the use of WMA, can also significantly reduce the material costs of asphalt mixtures.

At $250/ton, this works out to a savings of $30,000," APA-Michigan says, adding "the savings with RAP go beyond just the savings on liquid asphalt; the aggregate in RAP provides just as much

In the US, the use of recycled asphalt and shingle results in $3B+ savings compared to the cost of new raw materials. We work diligently to adhere to the LEED guidelines and specifications. We decrease the need for new asphalt binder by utilizing RAP and RAS in our asphalt production, thus minimizing landfill use. With sustainability a

The National Asphalt Pavement Association estimates that 90 percent of the asphalt pavement removed each year is recycled and that approximately 125 millions tons of RAP are produced, with an annual savings of $300 million (North Central Superpave Center, 2004).

Recycling asphalt pavement into HMA saves precious natural resources and reduces the cost of pavement for the traveling public. This publication provides practical guidelines for HMA mixtures with at least 25 percent RAP, including materials evaluation, mix design, plant verification, and quality control necessary to produce a quality pavement.

The Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show is co-sponsored by CAPA and is considered to be one of the most informative meetings of the construction industry. CAPA is available to assist with technical issues such as RAP, Porous HMA Pavaaments, Edgeline Cracking, etc. • Technical bulletins have been developed and made available to CAPA members on the following subjects: use
