Guidelines for Recycling Pavement Materials
Rehabilitation and maintenance of the present transportation system is costly, time consuming, and material intensive. Reuse or recycling of the existing pavement materials for rehabilitation and maintenance purposes offers several advantages over the use of conventional materials and techniques. Among the major benefits are conservation of aggregates, binders, and energy, as well as preservation of the environment and existing highway geometrics. This report describes the guidelines developed for the recycling of pavement materials. It contains the background information on which the recycling guidelines were based. Also covered in the report are summaries of laboratory and field results. The guidelines for recycling pavement materials are intended to provide the following information to the practicing engineer: (1) point out the potential advantages of recycling; (2) assist both in making a preliminary analysis of recycling as a pavement rehabilitation alternative and in identifying a suitable methodology; (3) provide guidance and criteria for making a detailed analysis of cost, energy, materials design, structural design, construction specifications, and quality control; and (4) recommend a methodology for evaluating project results so that recycling alternatives can be compared with conventional methods of rehabilitation. The major laboratory and field testing programs were undertaken to evaluate the effects of recycling modifiers, to establish the structural strength coefficients of recycled materials, and to define the performance of recycled pavements. Suggested areas of needed research have also been identified.
