Abstract: The utilization of recycled asphalt pavement in the construction and maintenance of flexible pavement with asphalt emulsion is advantageous and environmentally friendly. It saves energy due to zero heat loss during the mixing and laying of pavement compared to hot mix asphalt. Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is a sustainable material in place of virgin aggregates in road construction. The focus of this study is (i) virgin aggregate production, (ii) the utilization of waste material (additive), (iii) reducing the production temperature, and (iv) recycled RAP material in the pavement. This paper attempts to create a venue for using RAP greater than 50% during pavement construction. Cold mix asphalt (CMA) containing 0%, 50%, and 100% RAP materials with different dosages of cement, fly ash, and Stabil-road at 1%, 2%, and 3% of dry aggregate weight were used for ascertaining the mechanical and volumetric properties of mixtures. The mechanical properties for CMA samples, such as stability, tensile strength, moisture susceptibility, stiffness modulus, and the abrasion loss of CMA samples, were evaluated with and without RAP incorporation. Present laboratory studies revealed that a cold mix containing 50% RAP materials produced a higher stability value than the control mix, irrespective of the types of additives in its contents. All the additives can potentially resist moisture damage in the mix. Also, a significant improvement in the resilient modulus was considered for RAP-incorporated mixtures with the additives.
