Im an undergrad Materials Engineer working on an asphalt recycling project.

Anyone who is interested in asphalt recycling is invited to visit our forum:

We have three goals of the project:

To optimize a current process with minor changes.

To redesign a current process with major changes.

To develop a new process.


If you are interested in asphalt recycling we would like to hear from you.

Are you aware of what California DOT did recently on Interstate 80?

You might find this article interesting:

The article says the contract called for milling out 4" of existing asphalt then replacing it with dense graded asphalt concrete, and capping that with 3 more inches of dense graded. They then changed the original plan and substituted recycled material in that same 4" section using a cold in place recycling process (using 2.5% foamed asphalt, 1.5% cement as a binder, and with no additional fines).
