Abstract: Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is an innovating technique in India, and the use of RAP is gradually increasing popularity. Using RAP does not only help in minimizing the budget of project but also ensures proper utilization of material. Recycling helps the environment by reducing resource extraction and the use of virgin material, thereby reducing energy and water use, reducing harmful gas emissions and helping reduce waste to landfills. Buying recycled products also in some cases can reduce cost Therefore, the utilization of recycled material for aggregate will represent an important opportunity to save virgin material and divert material away from landfills. Because of the large amount of construction waste generation around the world, using recycled construction aggregate (RCA) in asphalt mixtures appears to be an effective utilization of RCA. However, as aggregate plays an important role in the final performance of the asphalt mixture, an understanding of their properties is essential in designing an asphalt mixture. This paper presents a review study to utilization of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Materials in Flexible Pavements.
