The effect of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) proportion on strength properties of a full depth recycling pavement / Roziawati Razali

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is the term given to the removed and/or reprocessed pavement materials containing asphaltic concrete. Cold in-place recycling (CIPR) is the processing and treatment with bituminous and/or chemical additives of existing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) without heating...
