Design method of the mix ratio of hot mix plant recycled asphalt mixture containing high mixture content

Abstract

This paper mainly used the Superpave and the Marshall design methods to design the mix ratio of the hot mix plant recycled asphalt mixture. The road performance of AC-20, SUP-20 with 30% RAP content and AC-20 with 50% RAP content was studied to evaluate the water stability and high temperature stability and low temperature crack resistance of the recycled asphalt mixture. Research shows that the road performance of AC-20 mixed with 50% RAP content meets the technical requirements of the same type of asphalt mixture. It is recommended to use the Marshall design method for hot mix plant recycled asphalt mixture design.
