Recycled materials and industrial byproducts are being used in transportation applications with increasing frequency. There is a growing body of experience showing that these materials work well in highway applications. This study gathers the experiences of transportation agencies in determining the relevant properties of recycled materials and industrial byproducts and the beneficial use for highway applications. Information for this study was acquired through a literature review, and surveys and interviews with state department of transportation staff. The report will serve as a guide to states revising the provisions of their materials specifications to incorporate the use of recycled materials and industrial byproducts, and should, thereby, assist producers and users in “leveling the playing field” for a wide range of dissimilar materials. The report is presented in eight volumes, the first of which is available in hard copy and on the Internet. The next seven volumes, including this one, are available through the Internet only. This volume specifically addresses the properties, production and usage, processing, costs, and applications associated with the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement, recycled concrete aggregates, and construction and demolition waste.
