The objectives of this study was to determine the resilient modulus of two recycled roadway materials: recycled pavement material and road surface gravel with and without cement and cement kiln dust stabilization. In order to replicate field conditions,  Large Scale Model Experiments were conducted.

Ground tire rubber (GTR) is a unique recycled material and it is not clear what the optimum method for incorporating GTR in the asphalt is. This project focused on developing optimum methods of processing and blending GTR, reacting time between GTR and asphalt binders while blending, and the designing of GTR modified binders to yield superior performance.
