Book Description
As the volume of traffic on unpaved roads in Wyoming increases with increased drilling activities, dust loss and surface distresses will continue to rise. It would make sense to pave some of these roads, but many counties cannot afford these expensive operations especially when future traffic volumes on these roads are unknown. An alternative option needs to be explored that will reduce dust loss and associated surface distresses.

Performance of Recycled Asphalt Pavement in Gravel Roads

Category : Gravel roads
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
As more Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) becomes available to use in roadways, The Wyoming T2/LTAP Center and two Wyoming Counties investigated the use of RAP in gravel roads. The Wyoming DOT and the Mountain-Plains Consortium funded this study. The investigation explored the use RAP as a means of dust suppression on gravel roads while considering road serviceability. Several test sections were constructed in two Wyoming Counties and were monitored for dust loss using the Colorado State University Dustometer. Surface distress evaluations of the test sections were performed following a technique developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Special Report 92-26: Unsurfaced Road Maintenance Management. The data collected were summarized and statistically analyzed. The performance of RAP sections was compared with the performance of gravel control sections. This comparison allowed for fundamental conclusions and recommendations to be made for RAP and its ability for dust abatement. It was found that RAP-incorporated gravel roads can reduce dust loss without adversely affecting the road's serviceability. Other counties and agencies can expand on this research to add another tool to their toolbox for dust control on gravel roads.

Pages : 112
Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Optimal RAP Content for Minnesota Gravel Roads

Pages : 129
Book Description
The objective of this project was to provide a better understanding of how various virgin aggregate and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) mixtures for surface layers affect the performance of gravel or crushed rock roads and, with further analysis, to determine the optimal RAP content for Minnesota gravel roads. This project included a literature review, preliminary laboratory testing, economic and feasibility analysis, and two field studies. Several studies regarding the use of RAP materials for road surfaces were reviewed. Then, laboratory tests on various RAP materials, one virgin aggregate, and mixtures of RAP materials and virgin aggregate were conducted to observe the effect of RAP on the index properties of the materials and the engineering properties of the mixtures. Initially, six test sections were constructed with various surface aggregates in two locations. Virgin RAP-aggregate blends having 15% to 60% RAP contents were placed as surface aggregate. Then, three more test sections were constructed using RAP-aggregate blends having 50%, 70%, and 80% RAP contents. Several field tests, including lightweight deflectometer, dynamic cone penetrometer, scrape, and dustometer tests, were performed to evaluate the test sections. This report provides insights regarding the effect of using RAP material on surface layers to reduce the use of virgin aggregates. It was concluded that the optimal RAP content for unpaved road surfaces changes according to the properties of the materials used, testing methods, and site conditions.

Evaluating the Effects of Recycling Agents on Asphalt Mixtures with High RAS and RAP Binder Ratios
Author: Amy Epps Martin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780309481045
Category : Asphalt
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"More than 90 percent of highways and roads in the United States are built using hot-mix asphalt (HMA) or warm-mix asphalt (WMA) mixtures, and these mixtures now recycle more than 99 percent of some 76.2 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and about 1 million tons of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) each year. Cost savings in 2017 totaled approximately $2.2 billion with these recycled materials replacing virgin materials. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 927: Evaluating the Effects of Recycling Agents on Asphalt Mixtures with High RAS and RAP Binder Ratios presents an evaluation of how commercially available recycling agents affect the performance of asphalt mixtures incorporating RAP and RAS at high recycled binder ratios."--
