Usage of Reclaimed Asphalt Material in Stone Mastic Asphalt

Abstract

The paper focuses on the issue of using reclaimed asphalt in asphalt mixtures used for highly traffic-loaded asphalt pavements - in asphalt mixtures of the stone mastic asphalt (SMA) type. It is a skeleton-type mixture, where the traffic load is bore by a skeleton of coarse aggregates bonded with mastic (i.e., bitumen and fine aggregates).The paper focuses on the issue of using reclaimed asphalt in asphalt mixtures used for highly traffic-loaded asphalt pavements - in asphalt mixtures of the stone mastic asphalt (SMA) type.
