    The document discusses the potential use of reinforced reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and wet mix macadam (WMM) mixtures in flexible pavement construction. Testing found that a 50:50 mixture of RAP and WMM reinforced with bamboo or polymer geogrids and geocells showed a 39-174% improvement in load bearing capacity compared to unreinforced WMM. Due to this increase, the reinforced RAP and WMM mixture could be used in pavement bases. A cost analysis also indicated the reinforced RAP and WMM option would be more cost effective than a conventional granular base.

    unreinforced WMM. Improvement in load bearing capacity of


    RAP + WMM (50:50) as compared to that of unreinforced
    WMM was observed to be 39% when reinforced with Bamboo
    geogrid + Bamboo geocells and 174% when reinforced with
    Polymer geogrid + Polymer geocells. Due to this improvement
    in load bearing capacity of reinforced RAP + WMM (50:50) in
    comparison to that of unreinforced WMM, it could be used in
    base course of flexible pavement construction. Cost analysis
    based on preliminary model tests results indicate that
    alternative pavement options with Polymer / Bamboo (geogrid
    / geocell) reinforced RAP + WMM (50:50) as base is cost
    effective as compared to that of conventional pavement with
    granular base (WMM).
