Abstract:Asphalt pavement recycling has grown dramatically over the last few years as a viable
technology to rehabilitate existing asphalt pavements. Iowa's current Cold In-place
Recycling (CIR) practice utilizes a generic recipe specification to define the
characteristics of the CIR mixture. As CIR continues to evolve, the desire to place
CIR mixture with specific engineering properties requires the use of a mix design
process. A new mix design procedure was developed for Cold In-place Recycling
using foamed asphalt (CIR-foam) in consideration of its predicted field performance.
The new laboratory mix design process was validated against various Reclaimed
Asphalt Pavement (RAP) materials to determine its consistency over a wide range of
RAP materials available throughout Iowa. The performance tests, which include
dynamic modulus test, dynamic creep test and raveling test, were conducted to
evaluate the consistency of a new CIR-foam mix design process to ensure reliable
mixture performance over a wide range of traffic and climatic conditions. The “lab
designed” CIR will allow the pavement designer to take the properties of the CIR into
account when determining the overlay thickness.
