A FIELD AND LABORATORY STUDY OF COLD ASPHALT MIX RECYCLING IN OHIO. FINAL REPORT

This report presents a study initiated in 1984 to develop specification guidelines and mix design recommendations and to obtain performance data on cold-mix recycling projects in Ohio. Future investment planning was the motivation for the Ohio Department of Transportation to consider cold-mix recycling of local roads as a maintenance alternative. Two mainline, low volume roads and one shoulder pavement were selected for this study. Documentation and evaluation of the projects are discussed generally in two parts. The first part includes the site selection criteria, pre-construction evaluation, mix designs, construction specifications and construction monitoring. The second part discusses performance evaluation through field inspection, data collection and laboratory evaluation of material properties. It is concluded that cold recycling is a feasible option when being used to build up base courses for local roads or to stabilize deteriorated shoulders prior to an overlay.
