2/8/2019 Cold In-Place and Full Depth Reclamation Best Practices Jason Wielinski, P.E. Heritage Research Group How might we fix these roads? How might we fix these roads? 1

2/8/2019 How might we fix these roads? Why Pavement Recycling? • Additional tools in the road construction toolbox • FDR: Full Depth Reclamation • CIR: Cold In-Place Recycling • CCPR: Cold Central Plant Recycling • Using less resources, proven construction methods • Engineered process, engineered technology Learning Objectives • Construction Technique Overview • Project Selection Guidance • Project Case Studies 2

2/8/2019 Pavement Recycling Processes Full Depth Reclamation Cold In-place Recycle Cold Central Plant Recycle (FDR) (CIR) (CCPR) Typical Depth: 5 - 12 inches Typical Depth: 3 – 5 inches Typical Depth: 3 - 6 inches Stabilizer: Emulsified/ Foamed Stabilizer: Emulsified/ Foamed Stabilizer: Emulsified/ Foamed Asphalt or Portland Cement Asphalt Asphalt Agency Usage: Agency Usage: Agency Usage: - Alternate to Reconstruction - Alternate to Deeper Mill and - Structural Base Layer Fill Distress Categories • Surface Defects  CIR, CCPR – Raveling, Potholing, Bleeding • Non- Load Associated Cracking – Block, Longitudinal, Transverse, Reflective • Load Associated Cracking – Fatigue, Edge • Deformation – Rutting, Shoving Distress Categories • Surface Defects  CIR, CCPR – Raveling, Potholing, Bleeding • Non- Load Associated Cracking  CIR, CCPR – Block, Longitudinal, Transverse, Reflective • Load Associated Cracking – Fatigue, Edge • Deformation – Rutting, Shoving 3

2/8/2019 Distress Categories • Surface Defects  CIR, CCPR – Raveling, Potholing, Bleeding • Non- Load Associated Cracking •  CIR, CCPR – Block, Longitudinal, Transverse, Reflective • Load Associated Cracking  FDR – Fatigue, Edge • Deformation – Rutting, Shoving Distress Categories • Surface Defects  CIR, CCPR – Raveling, Potholing, Bleeding • Non- Load Associated Cracking  CIR, CCPR – Block, Longitudinal, Transverse, Reflective • Load Associated Cracking  CIR, CCPR – Fatigue, Edge • Deformation  FDR, CIR, CCPR – Rutting, Shoving What Is FDR? • Deepest Recycle Treatment (5 - 12 in.) • Uniformly crushed, pulverized and blended with stabilizer • Results in stabilized base course • Requires Wearing Course 4

2/8/2019 Full Depth Reclamation • Three Types of FDR – Mechanical Stabilization • Pulverization • Compaction – Bituminous Stabilization • Emulsified Asphalt • Foamed Asphalt – Chemical Stabilization • Cement 13 Full-Depth Reclamation Aggregate Base Subgrade Subgrade Bituminous Stabilized FDR Chemical Stabilized FDR 5

2/8/2019 Completed FDR Emulsion FDR Mat Cement FDR Mat Samaria Road • Original Construction in 1964 – Length of roadway 10.3 miles – Non Reinforced 8” concrete pavement – 18” dowel bars on center joint at 24” spacing – Designed as “floating” concrete pavement • MDOT turned roadway over to the County – With no funding to maintain • Severe deterioration for last 20 Years • Fall 2013 Michigan Legislature sets aside $5 million for reconstruction How to reconstruct for $5 Million? • “Normal” construction techniques would exceed budget • Project needed to be completed in phases • Access to residents and businesses to be maintained • Profile could not be raised • Project Completion date set for November 6

2/8/2019 How to reconstruct for $5 Million? • Contractors had excess amounts of RAP stockpiled • County to use removed concrete as aggregate for other road projects • Buy-in from the County Road Commission to use recycled materials for the new construction • Contractors bids ranged from $5.8 million to $4.5 million Construction: Concrete Removal Existing Aggregate Base 7

2/8/2019 Start to Finish Cold In-place Recycling CIR Existing HMA 3 0 What Is Cold In-place Recycling? 10

2/8/2019 CIR Equipment Types CIR Operation IL SR 130: Philo Rd • Composite Pavement • 8 in JRCP • ~4” HMA • 6k – 7k ADT • Less than 3% Trucks • Solution: • 4.0 inch CIR • Multiple Lift HMA Overlay • 1.25” Leveling • 1.5” Surface CIR cost equivalent to 1.25 inches of leveling binder 11

2/8/2019 IDOT SR 130 IDOT SR 130 IDOT SR 130 Construction Issues • CIR Processing Occurred Late May – early June • Then it started to rain • CIR Material Set Up • Moisture remained in the CIR • Bath tub Effect with Shoulders – High moisture made paving HMA Difficult to Compact • Drains Installed September • CIR Carried Traffic for 3 Months • CIR Surfaced with 2 Lifts of HMA 12
