A mix was created using aggregate, heated to 160 °C, and 6% PG64-22 asphalt binder heated to 130 °C by mechanically mixing. The RAP blend was created using 6% asphalt binder, PG64-22 asphalt binder, and was created with a 50-50% of aggregate retained on the 4.75 mm (#4) sieve and RAP passing a 4.75 mm. (#4) sieve.
