Reusing reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAPs) provides economic, social, and environmental benefits. To improve the performance of these materials, rejuvenating agents such as waste cooking oil (WCO) have been implemented. The annual amounts of RAP and WCO available in the Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga (AMB) were calculated to be 32 thousand and 22 thousand tons per year, respectively. Subsequently, international standards were reviewed and compared with Colombian regulations to establish a methodology to determine the appropriate percentage of WCO to add to RAP for hot asphalt mix preparation. The authors suggest investigating WCO levels from 3% to 6% and selecting the percentage that reestablishes the penetration grade (INV-E-706-13), softening point (INV-E-712-13), and viscosity (INV-E-717 -13) of asphalt binder. For hot asphalt mix preparation, the authors propose using the Marshall method and determining the appropriate percentage of asphalt according to stability and flow tests (INV-E-748-13), percent air voids (INV-E-736-13), and bulk density (INV-E-733-13).
