Description:
Pavement recycling refers to the process of reclaiming materials from one or more layers of an existing pavement structure, processing them through mechanical or chemical stabilization, and then reusing them. The primary goal of this study was to develop guidance materials for the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT’s) consideration for the adoption and implementation of cold in-place recycling (CIR) and full-depth reclamation (FDR) technologies. The first objective in accomplishing this goal was to summarize the current state of the practice on the key engineering factors that could contribute to the successful implementation of CIR, cold central-plant recycling (CCPR), and FDR in Arizona. A second objective was to develop guidelines for project selection and help to identify some candidates for potential CIR and FDR projects in several ADOT districts. Preliminary FDR specifications and training materials were also developed to assist in training district engineers on CIR, CCPR, and FDR.
