Institut für Straßenw esen Introduction T U B r a u n s c h w e i g • Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Electric Arc Furnace Steel Slag (EAFSS) are commonly used for asphalt pavement construction. • Approximately 70 million tons of RAP are reused for pavement application in US, and 47 million tons of RAP are reused in Europe, making RAP one of the most recycled materials. • Several studies were performed to address the use of EAFSS in asphalt mixtures. • However, not many studies can be found on the combined use of these materials.

Critical cracking temperature, T CR , comparison (PG 58-28 mixture) For 75% EAFSS+25% RAP, and 25% RAP, higher σ ( T ) and T CR were • found compared to mixtures designed with virgin material for both binder. • When the aggregate skeleton was entirely (100%) replaced with EAFSS, a very close response to that of mixtures prepared with conventional aggregates was observed, both in terms of thermal stress and critical cracking temperature.
