Popis: The aim of this research was to develop an improved recycled asphalt pavement by using reinforcement sheeting to decrease the shortcomings of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), and take advantage of its merits. Evaluation tests showed that the use of reinforcement sheeting in combination with recycled asphalt mixture resulted in a paving material that significantly outperforms virgin asphalt mixture in rutting resistance, crack resistance and serviceability. Concern for the state of the environment has grown considerably in recent years throughout the world. Road construction is no exception to this. This report was submitted in the hope that the proposals it contains would contribute to further promotion and expansion of effective use of recycled asphalt mixture.
