Mohajeri, M. (author)Hot mix asphalt recycling has become common practice all over the world since the 1970s because of the crisis in oil prices. In the Netherlands, hot recycling has advanced to such an extent that in most of the mixtures more than 50% of reclaimed asphalt (RA) is allowed. These mixtures with such a high RA content are produced in a batch plant to...doctoral thesis 2015

Erkens, S.M.J.G. (author), Scarpas, A. (author)With the increasing drain on natural resources and resulting aim to reduce the environmental impact of road engineering, the use of reclaimed asphalt in fresh asphalt becomes more and more important. Despite the experience in using RAC, there are still many questions regarding the effect of RAC on the technical and environmental performance of...book 2013

Qiu, J. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author), Van de Ven, M.F.C. (author), Shirazi, M. (author)Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is one of the largest fractions of raw materials used in road construction today. Probably over 90% of the total RA in the Netherlands is being reused in new asphalt constructions. RA contains aggregates coated with very hard bitumen (penetration grade of 10-20). During service, the bituminous binder loses its flexibility...conference paper 2013

Van den Bergh, W. (author), Van de Ven, M.F.C. (author)For asphalt pavement design in Belgium, healing is taken into account as a standard shift factor, representing the effect of rest periods between loadings of traffic. Because nowadays Reclaimed Asphalt Aggregate (RA) is widely used in hot mixtures, a new validation of the healing factor is needed. Given the lack of test results and a standard...journal article 2012
