Field and Laboratory Investigations for Full Depth Reclamation Projects

Full-depth reclamation (FDR) offers a timely, cost-effective solution to restore a pavement’s condition. However, FDR represents only one technique in the engineer’s toolkit available for addressing deteriorating pavement conditions. The purpose of this project is to provide guidance on determining whether a pavement is a candidate for FDR and, if so, what design, construction, and inspection processes will maximize the performance of the completed reclamation. This report presents initial recommendations for selecting a candidate FDR project and developing design options (including field sampling and lab design protocols). Along with a literature review, these recommendations are illustrated by application on several projects in the Texas Department of Transportation's Austin and Dallas Districts.
