| New EAPA Paper “Arguments to simulate asphalt reuse and recycling” available |
| The re-use and the recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) started more than 30 years ago. In many European countries the use of RAP is common practice.
Asphalt is 100% re-usable / recyclable and for sustainable development its re-use / recycling should therefore be encouraged. RAP can be re-used to produce new asphalt (in plant and in-situ) and it can be recycled by using emulsions, foamed bitumen and by adding cement (in plant and in-situ). To stimulate the re-use and the recycling of RAP this document provides arguments for governments and public authorities to stimulate this process.
Each year about 50 million tons of RAP is produced and a large amount of this 50 million tons is reused and recycled. The goal should be to achieve 100%.
This document addresses the need for re-use and recycling for sustainable development by consideration of legislation, economical aspects, the supply and demand market, creating awareness of the client, technical and contractual issues as well as environmental aspects.

| New EAPA Paper “Asphalt pavements in tunnels” available |
| The use of asphalt in road tunnels is a topic which is currently discussed by many engineers in the construction industry. The background for these discussions is mostly related with safety in tunnels and the reaction to fire of asphalt. This document will describe the possibilities of the use of asphalt in tunnels. It will address the construction issues of paving asphalt in tunnels, noise reduction, skid resistance, maintenance and lightness in tunnels as well as the safety aspects with regard to paving activities and the reaction to fires in tunnels.
