Abstract:

This report, the second and final report for research project 0-1 348, "Waste and Recycled Materials in Road base, Except Glass," summarizes the following: (1) Material location and availability survey of commercial sources; (2) the Waste and Reclaimed Materials (WRMs) evaluation system; and (3) the results of the laboratory testing undertaken to develop specifications. A close examination of the data presented in Report 1 348-1, "Location and Availability of Waste and Reclaimed Materials in Texas and Evaluation of Their Utilization Potential in Roadbase," indicated the need for a survey of commercial sources of waste materials in Texas. The survey of commercial sources was considered important, inasmuch as TxDOT has ownership of only two of the reported materials, namely, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and reclaimed portland cement pavement (RPCP); moreover, TxDOT district personnel could not provide firm estimates of materials available in commercial stockpiles and, hence, recommended a survey of relevant sources.
