8、ment Construction3. Significance and Use3.1 Recycling of deteriorated asphalt pavements is beingused with increasing frequency for its economy and benefit ofconserving raw materials. The objective of recycling is to reusethe two ingredients of asphalt concrete-aggregate and asphaltand to restore the
9、 desired properties to the mixture. Recyclingis carried out hot or cold, depending on the condition of thedeteriorated pavement, construction procedure, availability ofequipment, and cost. This practice is for classifying recyclingagents to be used in hot recycling.4. Classification4.1 This practice
10、 describes recycling agents (RA) as belong-ing to one of the following six groups: RA 1, RA 5, RA 25, RA75, RA 250, or RA 500, as shown in Table 1. The viscosityranges are designed to avoid overlap and to provide sufficientflexibility to satisfy a wide range of mix proportions. Otherproperties speci
11、fied include flash point (handling), weightpercent of saturates (compatibility), selected properties of theRTF or TF oven residue (durability), and specific gravity.4.2 The choice of RA grade will depend on the amount andhardness of the asphalt in the aged pavement. In general, thelower viscosity RA
12、 types can be used to restore aged asphaltsof high viscosity and vice versa. Additionally, grades RA 1, RA5, RA 25, and RA 75 will generally be most appropriate forhot-mix recycling of salvaged asphalt concrete when no morethan 30 % virgin aggregate is added, while grades RA 250 andRA 500 will gener
13、ally be most appropriate when more than30 % virgin aggregate is incorporated into the mix.5. Physical Properties5.1 All recycling agents must be homogeneous, free-flowing at pumping temperature, and must conform to therequirements shown in Table 1.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Com
