PAVEMENT RECYCLING GUIDELINES FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS PARTICIPANT'S REFERENCE BOOK.

Recycling or reuse of existing asphalt pavement materials to produce new pavement materials has the following advantages: (a) reduce costs of construction, (b) conservation of aggregate and binder, (c) preservation of the existing pavement geometrics, (d) preservation of the environment, and (e) conservation of energy. There is a need totrain government highway officials and engineers in pavement recycling so that its use becomes wide spread and benefits are realized at all levels. This participants reference book has been developed to support a 2-day workshop on all aspects of recycling of asphalt pavements. The 2-day training provides an in-depth technical knowledge of the following recycling methods: hot mix asphalt recycling (both batch and drum plants), hot in-place recycling, cold-mix asphalt recycling (both in-place and central plant), and full depth reclamation of asphalt pavements. The training also includes the following topics: performance data of recycled mixes, selection of pavements for recycling and recycling strategies, and economics of recycling. Each chapter in this participants reference book represents a corresponding workshop session in the 2-day workshop. Each chapter contains a list of references at the end for further reading if so desired.
