COLD-MIX RECYCLING OF ASPHALT MATERIALS: AN APPLICATION TO LOW-VOLUME ROADS

For several years now, rising asphalt prices and diminishing revenues have led many highway departments, especially local agencies, to experiment with alternative methods of rehabilitating their old asphalt pavements. One such method, which has received particular attention in Illinois, is the process of cold, in-place recycling. It has been found to be an economical alternative to other more conventional patching and overlay treatments. Cold, in-place recycling makes it possible to remove surface deficiencies and improve levels of safety and serviceability while minimizing the addition of new asphalt and aggregate materials. Furthermore, it has been found that this type of rehabilitation can be accomplished by using available equipment and basic road mix procedures. Recycling work performed by the Vermilion County, Illinois, Highway Department during the summer of 1982 is described, and details of the overall work sequence are discussed. (Author)
