Abstract:This report presents the results of a research study funded by the Nevada DOT and the SOLARIS University Transportation Center. The research developed a method for measuring the in-place density of the cold in-place recycled (CIR) layer immediately after compaction. A laboratory experiment was conducted that measured the density of the compacted CIR slabs using the rubber balloon and sand cone methods and compared these measurements to the densities of cores. Based on the statistical analyses of the collected data, it was concluded that measuring the in-place density of the compacted CIR layer using the sand cone method leads to the estimation of in-place air voids that are the closest to air voids of cores obtained from the CIR layer bulked with the Parafilm method. Based on this conclusion, the following ecommendation is made: • Use the sand cone method to measure the in-place density of the of the compacted CIR layer • Measure the maximum theoretical specific gravity of the CIR mix following AASHTO T209 • Calculate the in-place air voids of the CIR layer using the in-place sand cone bulk density of the CIR layer along with the maximum theoretical specific gravity of the CIR mix following AASHTO T269 • Add 2.8% to the in-place air voids calculated from the sand cone measurement to calculate the adjusted in-place air voids • There is 95% confidence that the adjusted in-place air voids will be: -0.9% to +0.5% from the actual inplace air voids measured on cores using the Parafilm method
