Conservation of resources, preservation of the environment, and retention of existing highway geometrics are some of the benefits obtained by reusing pavement materials. In the United States of America, more than 50 million tons (45.36 million Mg) of asphalt paving material are milled annually; recycling into new asphalt paving mixtures is the predominant application. However, large quantities of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregate remain unutilized and further uses should be explored. In the Sultanate of Oman, recycling of pavement materials is not practiced; this study presents a first attempt at evaluating RAP aggregate. The reuse of RAP aggregate could be economically attractive in Oman because certain regions of the country experience virgin aggregate shortage. Furthermore, rehabilitation of the road network would provide a valuable resource to be cons...
