How to Increase RAP Usage and Ensure Pavement Performance

The National Asphalt Pavement Association announces the release of a new publication, How to Increase RAP Usage and Ensure Pavement Performance.

This 8-page brochure is designed to persuade pavement owners that RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) can be successfully incorporated into new asphalt mixtures, and that it is possible to increase the percentage of RAP while maintaining consistency, quality, and performance. In reader-friendly Q-and-A format, it addresses some of the most frequently asked agency questions concerning asphalt reuse/recycling. Also included is a bibliography of RAP resources. The brochure makes a great handout for trade shows and an ideal leave-behind when discussing the possibility of incorporating or increasing RAP with agency or consulting engineers.

How to Increase RAP Usage and Ensure Pavement Performance is available from NAPA.
