RAP Binder Replacement Calculation
For Bay Area Tech Committee Meeting - Feb. 4, 2014
From DWA To TWM
DWA vs. TWM - Quick AnswerFrom DWA To TWM

RAP Use: % RAP vs. BRRAP Use: % RAP vs. BR• Use RAP in HMA based on RAP percentage by p g yweight of aggregate or by weight of the total mix.
• The use of RAP can reduce the need for virgin• The use of RAP can reduce the need for virgin binder and impact the binder properties, thus RAP may also be specified according to percentage binder replacement (BR).
• The percentage of RAP used in the mix can be selected by determining the contribution of theselected by determining the contribution of the RAP binder toward the total binder in the mix by weight.
Section 39Section 39
“For HMA mixtures using RAP theFor HMA mixtures using RAP, the maximum binder replacement is 25.0
