Hot In Place Recycling Of Asphalt Pavements

Research and Application of Hot In-Place Recycling Technology for Asphalt Pavement is the first comprehensive book on the topic that presents over two decades of theoretical and practical experience gained in China. The book gives comprehensive coverage of HIPR, including pavement evaluation, distress analysis, mix design, processes and equipment selection, implementation and acceptance criteria. In eight chapters, this book covers HIPR from theoretical and practical viewpoints, and provides detailed case-studies based on real-world experience. This book includes everything engineers need to apply HIPR to improve sustainability and reduce disruption during the maintenance and repair of asphalt. Presents, for the first time in English, decades of experience and research on Hot in-Place Recycling Technology (HIPR) for asphalt pavements Considers all aspects of HIPR, giving engineers all they need to use the technique for road maintenance and repair Details how HIPR drastically improves the sustainability of asphalt and reduces disruption to traffic during repair and maintenance work Includes detailed case studies from thirty years of HIPR in China, giving context and practical know-how

This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, pavement designers, highway, material, research, and specification engineers, and others interested in economical methods for reconstructing or rehabilitating asphalt concrete pavements. It describes the processes and equipment used for hot in-place recycling of asphalt concrete and provides information on mix designs, performance, and guidelines for its effective use. A significant amount of the information provided is based on the current practices of state highway agencies. As such, numerous case histories are included in the report.

"Discusses the use of hot in-place recycling, cold in-place recycling, and full-depth reclamation of asphalt pavements. In-place recycling and reclamation of asphalt pavements provides agencies with the ability to optimize the value of in-place materials, minimize construction time and traffic flow disruptions, and reduce the number of construction vehicles moving in and out of the construction area."--Provided by publisher.

The responsibility of Task Force No. 38 was defined to be as follows: The Task Force would address the cold processing of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) with or without additional additives and/or aggregates to create a rehabilitated component of the pavement structure. This report contains information on the cold recycling process, project selection and assessment, cold recycled mixture and pavement structural design, quality control and testing, guidelines for construction specifications and definitions of terms.
