Applications of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)
Instructor: Freddie Salado Martínez, PhD, PE, Transportation Engineer
Hours: Three (3) technical hours
Description: This seminar provides a comprehensive understanding of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), emphasizing its economic and environmental importance as well as its practical applications in local projects. It covers relevant specifications in Puerto Rico (PRHTA, AASHTO, FHWA) for the proper management of RAP, its characterization through laboratory testing, and the design of asphalt mixtures incorporating this recycled material. Methods for production, storage, and evaluation of aged asphalt will be explored, promoting the responsible use of RAP in structural layers and in-place recycling techniques.
