A strategic framework for using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) aggregates in concrete pavements

Key Points

• Performance of concrete pavements improves with the inclusion of RAP aggregates, enhancing sustainability efforts.
• Analysis reveals that utilizing up to 30% RAP in concrete can maintain structural integrity and reduce environmental impacts.
• This framework for integrating RAP aggregates applies across various pavement projects, promoting eco-friendly practices.
• Highlights the need for further studies to optimize the balance between performance and sustainability in concrete pavements.
