The effect of the silo-storage on the rheological behavior of a surface course asphalt mix containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)

The extent of diffusion/blending between aged binder from reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and virgin binder in asphalt mixtures could affect both the performance of the produced Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and the economic competitiveness of the recycling process. During the production process of HMA with RAP, it is generally understood that a partial blending occurs between aged and virgin binders. The degree of blending could be increased, and the …
