• Abstract:
  This report includes the results of a research project aimed at developing a comprehensive analysis
  
  framework for evaluating new and recycled materials to be used in pavements in Michigan. Two basic
  
  components of the framework are: (i) Engineering performance evaluation and (ii) Sustainability
  
  evaluation. Engineering performance evaluation included several options for each kind of material used at
  
  different layers of pavements. For asphalt pavements, there are three options. First option is based on the
  
  field data to be supplied by the proposer of a new/recycled material. Second option is laboratory
  
  performance data such as the push pull fatigue, flow number and IDT strength. The third option involves
  
  prediction of performance using Level 1 inputs in Pavement ME Design software. For concrete pavements
  
  and unbound layers, there are two options. First option, similar to asphalt pavements, is the field data. The
  
  second option is analysis using the Pavement ME Design software. For other types of materials, field data
  
  is required. Once data for any option is presented to MDOT (by an entity), MDOT can input these data in
  
  the NewPave software developed as part of this project to calculate an Engineering Performance Score
  
  (PSE
  
  ). Second stage of the analysis framework presented in this report is the sustainability analysis. The
  
  sustainability analysis of a new material includes three basic components: (1) Environmental, (2) Economic
  
  and (3) Social analyses. At the end of analysis of each sustainability component, a performance score based
  
  on sustainability (PSS
  
  ) is computed. Then the sustainability and the engineering performance scores are
  
  combined to compute an overall Performance Score (PS). This final Performance Score (PS) will be used
  
  by MDOT to decide whether to try the proposed new/recycled material in MDOT-administered roadways
