Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR) • 3 of 5 Track sections sponsored by VDOT • 5” foamed recycle on top of 6” base vs 8” FDR • Virginia RAP run through central mix plant • 2” versus 4” new plant mix overlay on base • 4” new plant mix overlay on 8” FDR • Desire to include recycle in PG study 8
2012 Preservation Group (PG) Study • Quantify life cycle benefit of study treatments • Time/traffic to return to pretreatment condition(s) • Life extension effect on underlying pavement • Sampling/testing for construction quality 9
2012 Preservation Group (PG) Study • Traffic continuation on 2009 GE+ test sections • Stop traffic when “trigger” distress(es) reached • Trigger may be cracking or roughness increase • Apply consensus treatments to GE+ sections • Duplicate / expand study in off-Track research 10
Fatigue Expectations @ Measured Strains 10 million ESAL strain cycles 13
PG Sections on Lee Road 159 Martin Marietta Quarry EAP’s Auburn Plant Lee Road 159 14
2012 Preservation Group (PG) Study • Fog seals (with and without rejuvenators) • Crack seals (routing/filling, hot air lance, go-type) • Chip seals (single, double, triple, scrub, FiberMat) • Cape seals (on chip/scrub seals, FiberMat) • Micro surfacing (single, double, Capes) • Plant mix overlays (with and without milling) 15
