When using RAP in HMA mix designs, the aggregate gradations and total asphalt content are altered slightly from original batch percentages due to the asphalt contained in the RAP.
Therefore, the input data above must be entered separately for each total desired asphalt content to properly determine batch weights at each asphalt content.
