Outline Objectives Literature Review Types of Reclamation Definition of Factors Decision Checklists Criteria Recommendations
Pavement Rehabilitation (LRRB INV 808)Objective • Laying out the Best Practices for the selection of asphalt concrete • recycling techniques: • Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) • Cold In-place Recycling (CIR) • Mill/Overlay (M&O).
Why Mill and Overlay ? • Low Initial Cost • Minimize clearance/grade issues • Construction time minimized • “Covers” up reflective cracks
Rehabilitation Decision Factors Existing Conditions (PQI) Ride (RQI) Surface Rating (SR) Transverse Cracks (0.01, 0.10, 0.20) Long. Cracks & Deter. (0.02, 0.03, 0.04) ….
Rehabilitation Decision Factors (cont.) Multiple Cracking (0.15) Alligator Cracking (0.35) Rutting (0.15) Raveling & Weathering (0.02) Patching (0.04) PQI = (RQI X SR)1/2

SPECIFIC CRITERIA 1. Is existing HMA thickness adequate to support CIR equipment? (3.5 in.)? 2. Is existing subgrade stiffness adequate to support CIR equipment? (5000 psi)? 3. Consider SR degradation rate.
Criteria Continued 4. If not structurally adequate then CIR should NOT be used without additional overlay 5.If SR < 2.5 and IWD for multiple cracking or T.C. > 5.0: - Mill and OL should not be used - if existing HMA > 3.5 in. use FDR or RIC - if existing HMA < 3.5 in. use FDR only
Criteria Continued more 6. If the SR < 2.5 and Mult. or Transverse cracking IWD is < than 5.0, use mill & overlay 7. Finally, cost/benefits should be considered along with decay rates in the final decision. NOTE: T.C. IWD = 5.0 for a pavement with all medium severity T.C. represents a crack count of 50 cracks per 100 ft. An IWD = 5.0 for a pavement with all high severity T.C. represents a crack count of 25 cracks per 100 ft.
RECOMMENDATIONS • Determine ride (RQI) periodically with Mn/DOT IRI correlation(s) or panel • Determine IWD and SR using Mn/DOT Distress Manual periodically • Run FWD periodically to determine: • Tonnage • Subgrade Stiffness • GE of pavement section
RECOMMENDATIONS (cont.) 4. Continue documenting performance information from 1., 2., and 3. in the rehabilitation database (?) - include RQI, SR (IWD’s), GE, Soil Stiffness. This could be part of the PMS or Mn/ROAD database (s).
