P = 0.035 a + 0.045 b + Kc + F
Where
P- Approximate Total Bitumen demand of recycled mix, % by weight of mix
a- % of mineral aggregate retained on 2.36 mm Sieve = 63
b- % of mineral aggregate passing the 2.36 mm Sieve and retained on 75 sieve = 33
c- % of mineral aggregate passing 75 Sieve = 3.9
K- 0.15 for 11-15 %passing 75 sieve = 0.20
0.18 for 6-10 %passing 75 sieve
0.20 for 5 % or less passing 75 sieve
F- 0 to 2 %. Based on absorption of light or heavy aggregate. = 0.7
In the absence of other data a value of 0.7 is suggested
Using an aggregate blend of 70 percent New aggregate and 30 percent RAP aggregate, trial mixes of different
binder contents (varying in 0.5 increments) i.e. 3.5 to 5.5 are prepared according to standard marshall design
procedure at our site laboratory. The results are attached to this document
Since the formula for Pnb (% New Binder) was calculated in step 3, the formulas for proportioning the Psm ( %
RAP ) and Pns (% New aggregate ) are
r Pb 70 Pb
Pns = r- = 70 -
100 100
Pns = 70 - 0.7 Pb
The Optimum Binder Content (OBC) obtained by Marshall method from Marshall properties narrow
criteria is determined at Site Laboratory is 4.6 %
And Psm is also Limited to 30% margin in the Cold bin feeding percentage.
