Evaluation of Recycled Asphalt Concrete Pavements
After some success with a small asphalt pavement recycling project in 1975, Kossuth County, Iowa programmed a much larger undertaking during the 1976 construction season. The work performed i n 1975 indicated that a quality product could be produced with some modifications to conventional equipment. As anticipated, the major problem encountered was the excessive air pollution created during the heating and mixing process. As part of its 1976 road program, Kossuth County developed plans for recycling sixteen miles of existing asphalt pavements using the "hot mix" recycling process. One project, ten miles in length, was selected by the Federal Highway Authority as part of "Demonstration Project No. 39, Recycling Asphalt Pavements." The FHWA provided a $29,500 grant to the project to be used for project testing and evaluation. This report discusses the evaluation.
