After some success in the process of recycling asphalt pavements in 1975, Kossuth County decided to implement further recycling projects on a larger scale in its 1976 road construction program. The work done in 1975 indicated that a quality product could be produced, but that an air pollution problem created during the heating and mixing operation must be brought under reasonable control. As part of its 1976 road program, Kossuth County planned to salvage a total of 16 miles of old asphalt pavements in three projects. Two of these projects were three miles in length and the third project was ten miles long. The ten mile project was selected by the Federal Highway Authority as one of the recycling projects to be completed in cooperation with Demonstration Project No. 39, Recycling Asphalt Pavements.

INTRODUCTION: Many entities currently use recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and other aggregates as base materials, temporary haul roads, and, in the case of RAP, hot mix asphalt construction. Several states currently allow the use of RAP combined with cement for a stabilized base course under both asphalt and concrete pavements. Currently, there is disagreement on what properties are required and how to test the cement and fly ash treated RAP for both asphalt and concrete pavement structures. This project investigated cement and fly ash treated RAP and other materials to determine their suitability for base course construction. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to determine feasibility of cement and fly ash treated RAP and other aggregates as a structural layer for both portland cement concrete and hot mix asphalt pavement systems.

"This synthesis will be of special interest and usefulness to design engineers, materials technologists, and others seeking information on the potential use of recycled materials in design, construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of pavements, bases, and other components of the highway system. Detailed information is presented on procedures for pavement recycling."--Avant-propos.

This report describes a project in which approximately 6,200 tons (5,630 Mg) of asphaltic concrete were recycled through a conventional asphalt batch plant. During the construction of the project, a buildup of asphalt-coated fines occurred in the dryer and the dust collector. The buildup is thought to have been associated with the fineness and/or the high asphalt content of the recycled mix. To solve the problem, a change was made in the recycling process. The project was completed using a heat transfer method with mix proportions as high as 50% recycled material added to 50% virgin aggregate.
