Environmental and economic considerations are leading to a heightened requirement to reuse wherever possible existing highway construction materials and suitable industrial by-products. Landfill tax, and more recently Aggregate tax, further justify the recycling option. This event will explore the latest thinking on the subject, illustrated by practical examples from both reconstruction and new-build highway projects.
Course Objectives
· To enable a comprehensive understanding of the various processes and stages of deterioration of highway pavements and their related (traditional) maintenance treatments.
· To present a range of alternative pavement repair and maintenance options with their appropriate application.
· To raise awareness of the technology for re-use and recycling of construction and secondary materials.
· To give an appreciation of the energy embodied in production, transport and application of construction materials.
Course Outline
1. Introduction, Definitions & Terminology
2. Pavement defects and traditional remedies
3. The Recycling Process
· History
· The Basic Process
· Development of recycling technology
· Environmental, economic and engineering considerations
· Site investigation and design for pavement restructuring
· Specification, planning, control and testing of recycled pavements
4. Recycling Options
· Resurfacing/minor re-profiling of wearing courses
· Re-profiling/stabilising of base and wearing courses
· Re-profiling/strengthening by overlay with plant mixes incorporating recycled materials
· Reconstruction of pavements by cold, in-situ recycling using bituminous and/or cementitious binders
· Improvement of existing sub-bases and subsoils by in-situ stabilisation.
5. Case Studies
6. Developing Specification and Methodology for Recycling
7. Selection of the appropriate Surfacing for Recycled Roads
· Main traffic routes
· Minor urban roads
· Minor rural roads
8. Alternative Materials and Binders
9. The Energy Equation - Energy Embodied in Road Construction Materials
10. Tutorial: Evaluation of Energy Inputs for Conventional and Recycling Technology
