CALCULATION OF GRADING OF COLD RECYCLED MIXTURES USING NEW AGGREGATES ACCORDING TO THE DESIGNED THICKNESS OF A REHABILITATED LAYER

Abstract. Technologies of cold recycling of asphalt concrete using various types of binders have been widely implemented in road building industry in Ukraine. Technologies of cold recycling allow to eliminate some types of deformations or destructions and also to enhance bearing capacity of flexible road pavements. If required, process of cold recycling assumes application of new aggregates to achieve standard grading of a recycled mixture. As the standard requirement does not state any restrictions on relative content of new aggregates, these can be applied to achieve the designed thickness of a rehabilitated layer. This article presents a method for calculation of grading of cold recycled mixtures according to the designed thickness of a rehabilitated layer assuming the amount of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) equals to the amount of asphalt concrete in a milled layer. The proposed method is based on calculation of grading of a mixture of new aggregates that should be rather individual for each recycled mixture. The input data for calculation should be obtained from results of a field testing of “old” road pavement construction and also from laboratory investigation of “old” asphalt concrete cores.
The article gives also some examples of calculation which are performed on base of mean values of standard grading of recycled mixtures. Nevertheless, the proposed method of calculation could be applied on the base of any values selected within the standard limits. The proposed method assures precise modeling of composition and properties of a recycled mixture and could be implemented when planning projects on rehabilitation of flexible road pavements either by cold in-plant or cold in-place recycling.
Keywords: asphalt concrete, cold recycling, recycled mixture, methodology for calculation of grading of recycled mixture.
