A Comprehensive Guide for Engineers and Contractors

Cold recycling is a pavement rehabilitation technique that uses a combination of existing asphalt pavement, recycled asphalt materials, and a rejuvenating agent to create a new pavement surface. This process is less expensive and more environmentally friendly than traditional pavement replacement methods, and it can be used to extend the life of existing pavements by up to 10 years.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of cold recycling technology, including its benefits, applications, and best practices. It is essential reading for engineers and contractors involved in pavement rehabilitation and maintenance.

Benefits of Cold Recycling

Cost-effective: Cold recycling is less expensive than traditional pavement replacement methods.
Environmentally friendly: Cold recycling uses recycled asphalt materials, which reduces the need for new materials and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills.
Quick and easy: Cold recycling can be completed in a single day, with minimal disruption to traffic.
Durable: Cold recycled pavements can last up to 10 years, providing a long-term solution for pavement rehabilitation.

Applications of Cold Recycling

Cold recycling can be used to rehabilitate a variety of pavement types, including:

Asphalt concrete pavements
Concrete pavements
Brick pavements
Gravel roads

Cold recycling is also ideal for use in a variety of applications, including:

Roadway rehabilitation
Parking lot rehabilitation
Airport runway rehabilitation
Industrial pavement rehabilitation

Best Practices for Cold Recycling

To ensure the success of a cold recycling project, it is important to follow best practices, including:

Proper site preparation: The pavement surface must be clean and free of debris before cold recycling can begin.
Correct mix design: The cold recycling mix must be designed to meet the specific requirements of the project.
Proper construction techniques: Cold recycling must be performed by experienced contractors using proper equipment and techniques.
Proper maintenance: Cold recycled pavements should be properly maintained to ensure their long-term performance.

Cold recycling is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and durable pavement rehabilitation technique that can be used to extend the life of existing pavements by up to 10 years. By following best practices, engineers and contractors can ensure the success of their cold recycling projects.
