Title: In-place Asphalt Recycling for Small Airfield Repairs in Remote Locations

Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: This paper presents results from an evaluation of Hot In-Place Recycling (HIR) techniques for conducting small repairs of aged asphalt concrete (AC) pavements on airfields in remote locations. The evaluation included both laboratory and field testing. In the laboratory, four different types of rejuvenators were evaluated using the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) test and the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test to investigate the use of rejuvenators to soften aged binder obtained from a reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material. The use of small quantities of Type I portland cement during the mix rejuvenation cycle was also explored. Optimum dosage rates for the four types of rejuvenators tested were developed, and the best performing rejuvenator-dosage rate combination was selected to use for field trials. The best combination of rejuvenator-cement dosage was also determined and used for field testing. In the field testing portion of the research, a series of repairs were conducted using HIR technology, rejuvenators, cement and two RAP materials. The performance of the repairs was evaluated under simulated F-15E aircraft traffic. All repairs met the objective of 3,500 passes of F-15E aircraft, and the extracted binder from the repairs showed signs of rejuvenation, which could result in longer lasting repairs. The overall conclusion of the research was that HIR of aged AC on airfield pavements can produce a quality repair that is capable of withstanding considerable aircraft traffic and the aged binder can be softened via use of rejuvenators to produce a more permanent repair.
