Recycling Materials for Highways


Book Description

"This synthesis will be of special interest and usefulness to design engineers, materials technologists, and others seeking information on the potential use of recycled materials in design, construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of pavements, bases, and other components of the highway system. Detailed information is presented on procedures for pavement recycling."--Avant-propos.

Pavement Recycling Guidelines for State and Local Governments


Book Description

This document was prepared to provide the following information on recycling of asphalt pavements: (a) performance data, (b) legislation/specification limits, (c) selection of pavement for recycling and recycling strategies, (d) economics of recycling, and (e) structural design of recycled pavements. The following recycling methods have been included: hot-mix asphalt recycling (both batch and drum plants), asphalt surface recycling, hot-in-place recycling, cold-mix asphalt recycling, and full depth reclamation. Materials and mix design, construction methods and equipment, case histories and quality control/quality assurance have been discussed for all recycling methods. This participant's reference book was developed to support a 2-day workshop on pavement recycling guidelines for state and local governments.




Cold-recycled Bituminous Concrete Using Bituminous Materials


Book Description

This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, construction engineers, and others interested in economical methods for reconstructing or rehabilitating bituminous pavements. Information is provided on the processes and procedures used by a number of states to recycle asphalt pavements in place without application of heat. Since 1975 a growing number of state highway agencies have reconstructed or rehabilitated asphalt pavements by recycling the old pavement in place. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the processes used for cold in-place recycling, including construction procedures, mix designs, mixture properties, performance, and specifications.
