Use of Resin Modified Pavement (RMP)

Abstract

This letter provides state-of-the-art guidance the design and use of resin modified pavement (RMP). Resin modified pavement (RMP) is a composite pavement surfacing that uses a unique combination of asphalt concrete (AC) and portland cement concrete (PCC) materials in the same layer. The RMP material is generally described as an open-graded asphalt concrete mixture containing 25- to 35-percent voids which are filled with a resin modified portland cement grout. The open-graded asphalt mixture and resin modified cement grout are produced and placed separately. The open-graded mixture is produced in a typical asphalt concrete plant and placed with standard asphalt paving equipment. After the open-graded layer has cooled, the grout 15 poured onto the porous surfacing and vibrated into the internal voids. The RMP layer is typically 50 mm (2 in.) thick and has a surface appearance similar to a rough-textured PCC.
