Technical guide - Pavement roadmixing and recycling of bituminous pavement materials
The purpose of this document is to list the various existingpractices for the re-use of pavement materials from surfacingsand foundation courses based on where it is intended to use themin the future. It is therefore a response to the need to constructand maintain pavements under a concern for sustainableeconomy in compliance with increasingly insistentenvironmental constraints.
The purpose of this document is to list the various existingpractices for the re-use of pavement materials from surfacingsand foundation courses based on where it is intended to use themin the future. It is therefore a response to the need to constructand maintain pavements under a concern for sustainableeconomy in compliance with increasingly insistentenvironmental constraints.
Four techniques will be examined:
• in situ cold roadmixing,
• plant cold roadmixing,
• in situ hot-mix recycling,
• plant hot-mix recycling.
The first two involve road foundation materials (materialsprocessed with or without a cementitious binder) and surfacingmaterials.
The second two involve asphalt materials for surfacings andbase layers.
Each technique is presented with its advantages, scope and uselimitations
