Analysis expecting from the Laboratory Investigations

1. Job Mix Formula (JMF)
Optimum RAP content and proportion of virgin material (10mm, 16 mm Aggregate and Stone
dust ) can be used which can satisfies the gradation requirements of Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA)
2. Optimum Modifier/Rejuvenator quantity to activate all the existing binder content
3. Optimum fresh binder content
Optimum quantity (and type) of Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) to be used additionally
4. Optimum Fiber content (VIATOP)
5. Physical properties of
a. RAP Aggregates and
b. Binder in RAP
6. Strength and Performance parameters of RAP mixes with optimized constituents
