“…The laboratory methods are less accurate and enables to test the stiffness properties only for one material. The laboratory method bases on empirical correlations like CBR test (3,4) or cyclic CBR test (5). The CTRX test is most reliable test for Mr estimation, but the initial loading conditions and test procedure often causes differences.…”

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) has gained significant attention in recent years as an environmentally sustainable solution for road construction. However, the main concerns are regarding its long-term performance and the potential impact on the road subbase. This study aims to investigate the behavior of RAP under cyclic triaxial loading conditions, specifically focusing on the accumulation of plastic strain over time. The research methodology involved laboratory testing using a cyclic triaxial apparatus to simulate the stress conditions experienced by RAP in road subbase applications in reference to AASHTO code. Several RAP specimens with varying degrees of compaction were subjected to repeated cyclic loading while monitoring the associated plastic strain accumulation. To provide a comparative analysis, conventional subbase materials were also tested under the same conditions. The findings indicate that RAP exhibits a notable disadvantage in terms of long-term plastic strain accumulation when compared to conventional subbase materials. The cyclic triaxial loading tests revealed a substantial increase in plastic strain accumulation over extended periods, suggesting the potential for long-term deformations and compromised performance of the road structure. This accumulation of plastic strain could lead to increased maintenance requirements and decreased service life of the road. Based on the results obtained, it is recommended that careful consideration be given to the utilization of RAP in road subbase construction in areas subjected to heavy cyclic loading conditions. Additional research and development efforts are necessary to explore potential mitigation strategies and optimize the use of RAP, ensuring sustainable and resilient road infrastructure.
