“…The coefficients of variation in the road performance indicators for the RAM-UR were larger than those of the RAM-FR, indicating that the fractionation process reduces the variability of the road performance for the RAM containing high RAP content. (2) The variability in the road performance for the RAM gradually increased with the increase in RAP content, but the reliability of the RAM-FR containing 70% RAP was 37.7%, which is greater than the reliability of the RAM-UR containing 50% RAP and meets the variability requirement. (3) The high-temperature and low-temperature cracking resistance of the CRAM containing 50% RAP were both better than those of the NAM.…”

“…Utilizing recycled materials instead of virgin materials in the production of hot-mix asphalt mixtures helps to reduce construction costs, lessen the reliance on natural aggregates, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions [1][2][3]. When considering the performance of a recycled asphalt mixture (RAM), the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content in the actual projects is generally controlled within 30% ("RAP" is a mixture of old asphalt pavement that has been excavated, recycled, crushed, and screened, and "RAM" is a mixture made by remixing RAP with new asphalt material, new aggregate, etc.…”

The application of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) can help reduce resource waste and environmental pollution in road construction. However, so far, only a small percentage of RAP materials can be used in road construction. The key obstacles to the application of a recycled asphalt mixture (RAM) with high RAP content are the variability of RAP materials and the difficulty of fully rejuvenating aged asphalt. However, there is still a lack of research on the effect of the variability of RAP materials and recycled asphalt on the quality control of a RAM. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of sieve pretreatment of RAP material using 4.75 mm sieve mesh and the use of composite crumb rubber-modified asphalt (CCRMA) to reclaim aged asphalt on the road performance and frame variability of reclaimed asphalt mixtures. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of the fractionation process of RAP material using 4.75 mm sieve mesh and the use of CCRMA to reclaim aged asphalt on the road performance of a RAM. The results show that the fractionation process can effectively reduce the mitigation of RAP agglomeration and reduce the variability of gradation, which in turn reduces the variability of road performance. The incorporation of CCRMA can effectively improve the high-temperature stability performance and low-temperature cracking resistance. The dynamic stability and the fracture energy of the CRAM (RAM prepared using CCRMA) were four and one and a half times as large as that of the NAM (RAM prepared using base asphalt), respectively. The fractionation process of RAP material and the utilization of CCRMA could help reduce the variability of the RAM while improving the road performance of the RAM.
