Laboratory study of soil-cement manufactured with RAP for its application as a sustainable and high-performance base in asphalt pavements

Abstract
The chapter explores replacing natural aggregates with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in soil-cement base layers to increase ductility and mitigate shrinkage-induced cracking that can reflect to upper asphalt layers. A laboratory program—modulus (tension/compression), strength (tension/compression), and fatigue tests—was performed with varying RAP and cement dosages. Results support RAP soil-cement as a more sustainable, high-performance base option that reduces raw-material use while targeting better cracking resistance.
