Full-Depth Reclamation: Recycling Roads Saves Money and Natural Resources

The full-color brochure describes the advantages and construction process of creating a new stabilized base by recycling the existing worn out asphalt roadway. The process of full-depth reclamation (FDR) with cement rebuilds worn out asphalt pavements by recycling the existing roadway. The old asphalt and base materials are pulverized, mixed with cement and water, and compacted to produce a strong, durable base for either an asphalt or concrete surface.

Guide to Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) with Cement

A comprehensive guide to Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) using cement. This process involves rebuilding failed asphalt pavements by pulverizing the existing surface and base, and blending the reclaimed aggregates with cement to create a new cement-stabilized base, that is then given a new riding surface. This document describes the step-by-step process, from initial site investigation, to mix design, and construction. A recommended construction specification for FDR is included.

Soil-Cement for Commercial Sites

This full-color brochure provides an overview of soil-cement - its properties and key benefits and how it is used for commercial applications. Benefits such as low cost, fast construction, strength and performance are described in easy to understand language. It makes an excellent introductory piece for understanding the main features and benefits of soil-cement.

Soil-Cement Technology for Pavements: Different Products for Different Applications

This full-color brochure describes the advantages of soil-cement and briefly defines the different types of soil-cement including cement-modified soil, cement-treated base and full-depth reclamation. Typical soil-cement requirements and properties are given.

The Road Recycled: Full-Depth Reclamation with Cement

This pocket-size CD includes a 5-minute video on the full-depth reclamation (FDR) process including several testimonials from county transportation officials highlighting its benefit. Also included on the CD is a brief overview of soil-cement and FDR and case studies on FDR. Windows format only.

Pavement Recycling Demonstrated

Reprint of an article from New England Construction Magazine, February 2004. This article describes the use of cement to recycle Wood Street in Hopkinton, MA. This is the first road recycled with cement in Massachusetts.

Soil Stabilization for Peeled Road

Reprint of an article from Constructioneer, October 2005. Torrential rains fell in the autumn of 2004 in Bethlehem Township, PA filling ponds and levees to capacity. When more rain came in the summer, a retention pond overflowed and the water funneled onto the roads. Instead of total reconstruction, FDR with cement was used to rebuild Sunset Dr. Using the existing materials and improve its performance through cement stabilization, was an economical and fast way to rebuild this road.

Cement Cures

Reprint of an article from Roads & Bridges, October 2003 that describes the use of cement to successfully recycle a National Park Service road in Alabama. A 30-mile section of the Natchez Trace Parkway project was originally designed to be stabilized with foamed asphalt; however, after a short distance unexpected variations in the soil and moisture content resulted in problems. Finally, the contractor switched to cement to successfully complete the 30 mile project.

Soil-Cement Inspector's Manual

The second edition of the Soil-Cement Inspector's Manual outlines and illustrates procedures for inspection of soil-cement construction. Each step of proper inspection and control is explained; sample problems are given showing how to compute material quantities and perform field tests. Tables and charts to simplify these calculations are also included.

The Soil-Cement Laboratory Handbook handbook, in conjunction with the Soil-Cement Inspector's Manual and the Soil-Cement Construction Handbook, presents in practical form the complete procedure for testing and constructing soil-cement paving. It is devoted principally to the methods of making laboratory tests for determining the control factors described in the Soil-Cement Construction Handbook; pulverization, mixing, cement content, moisture content, compaction, and curing.
