Abstract:

Some important projects involving recycling of paving materials are reviewed and discussed in relation to the materials utilized, and comments are made on the economics of recycling. Two types of construction operations are in general use: in place recycling, and recycling through a central plant. The materials to be recycled include: un-stabilized base (subbase) and thin surfacing materials; stabilized base (subbase) and thin surfacing material, asphalt aggregate surface mixtures, portland cement concrete surface mixtures, and mixtures of existing base (subbase) thin surface and new material. Experiences in Florida and Michigan (un-stabilized base course), Wisconsin and Texas (stabilized base), Michigan, District of Columbia, California, Texas and Louisiana (Portland Cement Concrete), California, Indiana, Iowa, Utah, Nevada, Texas and Massachusetts (asphalt concrete) are outlined. Among the projects discussed is the in-place cold recycling of asphalt concrete in Texas, where preliminary tests were performed relating to rejuvenating hardened asphalts.
