N2  - Currently,  the  cost  of  asphalt binder  which is  made  from  crude  oil  is highly  increase  and affects to the road construction costs. Using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is a way to reduce construction costs. It is not only re-using old materials but it is a way to reduce waste as well. In this study, asphalt mixes consisting of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% RAP would be  evaluated by  using  the  Superpave  design  method.  All  materials  would be  taken  from local sources in Thailand. Moisture sensitivity, resilient modulus, and densification energy indices of each mixture were evaluated. The  results  showed that  mixture  with  10%  RAP was  an  optimum mixture  to  use  as  an asphalt  concrete  because  their  properties  met  the  Superpave{u2019}  specification.   Higher percentage of RAP caused higher indirect tension and resilient modulus. The inclusion of RAP   into   the   mixtures   in   this   study   did   not   significantly   influence the  mixtures{u2019} densification  energy  indices. In  terms  of  construction  cost,  3.5,  7.03,  10.28  and  13.52 percent per kilometer were the reduced percentage of cost of mixture with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% respectively.
