Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are amendments to hot-mix asphalt ('HMA') which open new price/performance areas to asphalt cement concrete ('ACC') pavement. Equivalent-performing pavement may be made at lower cost, or higher-performing pavement may be made at equivalent-to-prior-art cost. The amendments, recycled asphalt pavement (“RAP”, and including recycled asphalt shingles [“RAS”]), and reinforcing fiber (aramid fiber) may be adjusted as described herein to achieve a desired price/performance target.
