INTRODUCTION HMA/PCC/Granular Subgrade Base Course
INTRODUCTION http://www.gratechcompanyltd.com/aggregate.htm • 2 billion tons/year aggregate produced (FWHA 2004) • 200 million tons/year of RCA and 90 million tons/year of RAP generated (FHWA 2011)
INTRODUCTION Annual Quantity Used RAP RCA From Edil et al. (2012)
INTRODUCTION Use of Material Characteristics Pavement M-E Design AASHTO 1993
INTRODUCTION Range of Materials Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Unbound Materials Fine-Grained Soils Recycled Concrete Aggregate Macadam Stabilized Soils
RESEARCH PLAN Task 1– Initial memorandum on expected research benefits and potential implementation steps Task 2 – Data collection Task 3 – Sensitivity Analyses Task 4 – Draft/final report
Task 2-Data Collection • Characterization of RAP & RCA • Stiffness/Resilient modulus (Mr) • Permanent deformation • Shear strength • Index properties • Hydraulic conductivity/permeability
Task 3-Sensitivity Analyses Normalized Sensitivity Index (NSI) NSI ∆Y = the change in pavement performance due to change in design input DL = the design limit for the pavement performance parameter ∆X = the change in the design input from the baseline X X = the baseline design input value
Task 3-Sensitivity Analyses IRI = Roughness LC = Longitudinal Cracking AC = Alligator Cracking AR = Asphalt Rutting TR = Total Rutting
