Today, 25 years later, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

The Freedom From Terrorism Memorial on our main campus stands as a lasting tribute to those we lost that day, to the Aggies who have since made the ultimate sacrifice and to those who continue to serve and protect our nation.

We will #NeverForget.

When RAP is incorporated into PG binders, it can affect pavement performance and durability.
@TxDOT and @CTRUTAustin evaluated this impact and is developing specification language for its usage in TxDOT materials.

Cold in-place recycling shows how applied research can help agencies make better use of existing infrastructure.

We're working with @TxDOT to identify where CIR is the right fit, support implementation and develop guidance moving forward.

The @TTITAMU is helping Texas save nearly $3 million by "recycling" roads.

Working with @TxDOT, TTI put a technique called cold in-place recycling to work: grinding up worn asphalt, mixing it with a stabilizing agent, and laying it back down the same day as a durable new base.

By reusing the old pavement right where it sits, the approach cuts material costs, moves at more than a lane-mile a day, and reduces the need for new raw materials.
