The composition of bitumen plays a vital role in deciding durability of bituminous roads. During the aging process, its composition changes with passage of time. Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is the term given to removed and/or reprocessed pavement materials containing asphalt and aggregates. These materials are generated when asphalt pavements are removed for reconstruction, resurfacing, or to obtain access to buried utilities. When properly crushed and screened, RAP consists of high-quality, well-graded aggregates coated by asphalt cement. Using RAP has been favored over virgin materials in the light of the increasing cost of asphalt, the scarcity of quality aggregates, and the pressuring need to preserve the environment. The paper describes the comparison of properties of RAP modified samples with conventional virgin bitumen samples. Various properties like Ductility, Penetration, and Softening point have been compared. The results indicate that the RAP mixes show better performance.
