Guidelines for RAP Stockpile Approval

402.1.03 Submittals

A. Certified Weight Tickets

Notify the Engineer before removing RAP from a stockpile that belongs to the Department. Submit to the Engineer the certified weight tickets of materials removed from the stockpile.

B. Affidavit

Submit to the laboratory an affidavit stating the sources of stockpiled materials to be used on a State Project. Include the following information in the letter:

• State project number

• Location from which the material was removed

• Approximate removal dates

• Mix types removed and the estimated quantity of each type in the stockpiles

• Other available information about the stockpiled material such as percentage of local sand in the RAP.

Obtain specific approval from the laboratory to use RAP or RAS stockpiles.

Adhere to Guidelines for RAP Stockpile Approval

402.2 Materials

A. RAP Material Composition

Note: The location of Department RAP material stockpiles will be given on the Plans.

Do not use RAP materials that contain alluvial gravel or local sand in any mixture placed on interstate projects except for mixtures used in shoulder construction. When used in shoulder construction, limit RAP containing local sand or alluvial gravel so that the sand or gravel contributes no more than 20% of the total aggregate portion of the mix.

1. RAP Percentage For non-interstate projects, limit the percentage of RAP allowed in recycled mixes so that the overall amount of alluvial gravel, local sand, and Group I material in the RAP will be determined through petrographic analysis or available records.

Rap furnished to the Contractor but not used in the work remains the Contractor’s property.

Section 402—Hot Mix Recycled Asphaltic Concrete

Rap used in the recycled mixtures for mainline or ramps (if applicable) may make up from 0 to 40 percent of the mixture depending on the amount of RAP available, the production facilities, and whether the mixture meets the requirements in Section 828.

The maximum ration of RAP material to the recycled mixture is 40 percent for continuous mix type plants and 25 percent for batch type plants

2. Process RAP Material

Process RAP material to be used in the recycled mixture so that 100 percent will pass the 2in (50mm) sieve.

Additional crushing and sizing may be required if the RAP aggregate exceeds the maximum sieve size for the mix type as shown in Section 828. Obtain representative materials from the RAP stockpile for the mix design.

B. RAS Material

RAS materials are produced as a by-product of manufacturing roofing shingles and/or discarded shingle scrap from the reroofing of buildings.

1. Limit the amount of RAS material used in the recycled mixture to no greater than 5 percent of the total mixture weight.

2. Shred the RAS material before incorporating it into the mix to ensure that 100 percent of the shredded pieces are less than ½ in (12.5 mm) in any dimension.

3. Remove all foreign materials such as paper, roofing nails, wood or metal flashing.

4. Provide test results for Bulk Sample Analysis, known as Polarized Light Microscopy, if post-consumer shingles are used to certify the RAS material is free of asbestos. Test stockpiles at the rate of one test per 1000 tons (megagrams) prior to processing.

Other than as specifically stated in this Subsection, ensure that RAS material is used according to the same requirements as described for RAP material.

C. Asphaltic Concrete Removed from an Existing Roadway

Asphaltic concrete removed from an existing roadway becomes the Contractor’s property unless specified otherwise on the Plans. RAP material retained by the Department is designated on the Plans, and the RAP shall be stockpiled at the location specified on the Plans.

D. Local Sand and Group I Material in RAP

Use of local sand in recycled mixes is restricted as stipulated in Section 828 for the Project. However, RAP which contains local sand may be used in surface and intermediate layers of non-

E. Asphalt Cement

Using laboratory evaluations, the Department will determine the asphalt cement grade to be used in the recycled mixture.

The asphalt cement shall meet the requirements of Section 820.

When the asphalt cement is blended with asphalt cement recovered from the RAP material and after tests on residue form thin film oven tests, the asphalt cement shall have a viscosity of 6000 to 16,000 poises (600 to 1600 Pa) or as approved by the Engineer. Recover asphalt cement from the recycled mixture to verify that the specified viscosity is being met.

If the Engineer determines during construction that the selected asphalt cement grade is not performing satisfactorily, the Department may change the asphalt cement grade in the mixture, with no change in the Contract Unit Price.

F. Recycled Mixture

The recycled mixture shall be a homogenous mixture of RAP or RAS material, virgin aggregate, hydrated lime, and neat asphalt cement. Ensure that the mixture conforms to an approved mixture design outlined in Section 828.

402.2.01 Delivery, Storage, and Handling

Separate the stockpiles by Project sources and by Group I and Group II aggregate types.

Erect a slope on each stockpile to identify the source(s).
