Field Performance of Littercrete (Incinerator Residue) in a Bituminous Base Course
The use of incinerated residue as an aggregate in a bituminous base was studied. A bituminous base utilizing incinerated residue for its aggregate will be termed littercrete in this report. Test sections of an experimental hot mixed littercrete base and a conventional asphalt concrete base (termed control) were placed on a city street in Houston, Texas, and topped with a conventional wearing surface. This report presents the results from field observations and laboratory tests on field core samples during the fourth, fifth, and sixth years of in-service performance of the pavements. This report also evaluates the performance of the pavements during the entire six-year span of the study. Evaluation of the laboratory tests and field observations show that the littercrete is performing essentially the same as the conventional control section. The only distress that has occurred in the littercrete section is minor surface cracking. This cracking is confined to the conventional wearing surface and has not progressed through the littercrete base.
