... 35 Selection of Performance-Based Test Methods Laboratory test data were analyzed to identify the tests appropriate for identifying RAP and RCP materials intended for use as unbound pavement layers, singularly or in combination with other materials. An adequate test method is expected to measure parameters that influence performance and should be capable of differentiating between sources, types, and blends of recycled aggregate.
