Pavement Recycling Guidelines For Local Governments

This document was prepared to provide the following information on recycling of asphalt pavements: (a) performance data, (b) legislation/specification limits, (c) selection of pavement for recycling and recycling strategies, (d) economics of recycling, and (e) structural design of recycled pavements. The following recycling methods have been included: hot-mix asphalt recycling (both batch and drum plants), asphalt surface recycling, hot-in-place recycling, cold-mix asphalt recycling, and full depth reclamation. Materials and mix design, construction methods and equipment, case histories and quality control/quality assurance have been discussed for all recycling methods. This participant's reference book was developed to support a 2-day workshop on pavement recycling guidelines for state and local governments.

TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R26-RR-2: Guidelines for the Preservation of High-Traffic-Volume Roadways explores the state of the practice for preservation treatments on high- and low-volume asphalt and concrete roadways. The report also includes suggested guidelines on the application of preservation treatments on high-volume roadways.
