416. — CONTINUOUS COLD RECYCLED

ASPHALT BASE COURSE

Description

416.01 This work consists of constructing a recycled asphalt base course using methods and equipment capable of recycling and relaying the material in a one-pass operation.

Continuous cold recycled asphalt base course compaction is designated type A or B as shown in Subsection 416.08.

Material

416.02 Conform to the following Subsections:

Emulsified binder agent 702.03 Quicklime 702.08(c) Recycling agent 702.06 Sealing emulsion 702.03 Water 725.01(c)

Construction Requirements

416.03 Spreading, Finishing, and Compacting. Use a machine that is capable of placing the material and spreading into the required line and grade of the specified road.

(a) Initial compaction. Compact using the designated type:

(1) Type A. One to 2 hours after placing the recycled mix, compact the recycled mix according to Subsection 401.14 except use pneumatic roller(s) weighing at least 27 tons. Do not park or idle rollers on uncompacted recycled material.

Initially compact with pneumatic rollers until no displacement is visible. Use steel-wheel roller(s), either in static or vibratory mode, to achieve final density.

Compact the recycled mix until it obtains a minimum density, immediately after placing and rolling, of 88 percent of a laboratory specimen prepared according to AASHTO T 247 at 140 ºF. Measure the density of the laboratory specimen according to AASHTO T 166. Measure the density of the inplace recycled mix according to AASHTO T 310.

(2) Type B. Compact the recycled mix using the following equipment, sequence, and number of roller passes:

(a) 6 to 8 roller passes with a double drum, vibratory roller having a minimum mass of 5.5 tons and equipped with frequency and amplitude controls.

(b) 8 to 12 roller passes with a pneumatic-tired roller having a minimum mass of 2000 pounds per wheel and a contact pressure of 80 pounds per square inch.

(c) 4 to 6 roller passes with a static steel-wheel roller with a minimum pressure of 250 pounds per square inch.

Keep all traffic and equipment off of the recycled asphalt base for at least 2 hours after completing initial compaction.

(b) Pavement smoothness. Immediately after initial compaction is complete, measure pavement smoothness according to Subsection 401.16(c). Defective areas are surface deviations in excess of 3/8 inch in 10 feet. Correct defective areas according to Subsection 401.16(d).

(c) Final compaction. Compact using the designated type:

(1) Type A. Before the next surfacing course is placed, compact the recycled mix until it obtains a minimum density of 92 percent of the laboratory specimen.

(2) Type B. At least 3 days after initial compaction, continue compactive effort with the pneumatic and static steel wheel rollers when the surface temperature is greater than 72 ºF. Use a minimum of four passes over the entire surface with each roller.

Exchequer IRSC Appendix D Page 20 of 23

416.10 Acceptance.

Construction of continuous cold recycled asphalt base course will be evaluated under Subsections 106.02 and 106.04. Type A compaction will be evaluated under Subsection 106.04.

Pavement smoothness will be evaluated under Subsections 106.02 and 106.04.

Measurement

416.11 Measure the Section 416 items listed in the bid schedule according to Subsection 109.02 and the following as applicable.

Measure the square yard width horizontally to include the top of base width including designed widening. Measure the square yard length horizontally along the centerline of the roadway.

Payment

416.12 The accepted quantities will be paid at the contract price per unit of measurement for the Section 416 pay items listed in the bid schedule. Payment will be full compensation for the work prescribed in this Section. See Subsection 109.05.
