This paper presents findings of a study concerning the influence of binder type on the mechanical properties of road base in the cold recycling technology. The principal aim of this investigation was to evaluate the mixes in scope of susceptibility to moisture and low-temperatures. In the comparative research foamed bitumen and bitumen emulsion were used in four different concentrations (2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5%). The materials used in the study were reclaimed from an existing road construction layers: reclaimed aggregate from the road base and reclaimed asphalt pavement obtained by milling the surface and binder course. Portland cement in 2.0% concentration was used as a hydraulic binder. The evaluated parameters were: indirect tensile strengths, tensile strength retained and indirect tensile stiffness modulus at 25 °C. These tests were complemented by an evaluation of susceptibility to moisture and frost according to modified procedures implemented by American researchers: Tunnicliff, Root and Lottman. Moreover, tests for low-temperature cracking were conducted according to Finnish standard. The investigations showed that the use of foamed bitumen for road base layer produced in the cold recycling technology results in better mechanical properties and resistance to moisture and frost compared to using bitumen emulsion. The use of 2.5% of foamed bitumen and 2.0% of Portland cement in the recycled road base allowed to meet the established criteria.

Until recently, the most common way for recovering of damaged and worn asphalt pavements on Ukrainian roads remains the provision of additional reinforced layers over the old pavement with patching. However, such measures give only a short-term effect because after one or two years, the existing deformations and fractures beneath reinforced layers occur, especially in conditions of insufficient strength of the foundations. But nowadays, recycling technology of different variations became the main method of existing pavement renovation. The economic attractiveness of cold recycling technology is primarily in the reuse of existing road material for arrangement of new pavement layers, so there is no need to arrange special areas for storage and disposal of old asphalt. In addition, the use of such technology helps to minimize the harmful impacts on the environment during road repair works. The essence of cold recycling technology, which is the most widely used in Ukraine for the arrangement of a road foundation layer, is in the fact that the defective and destroyed pavement layers are strengthened directly by complex admixtures of organic (hot bitumen, bituminous emulsion, foamed bitumen) and mineral suspensions, lime) binders. Cold recycling, according to the complications of the work, is divided into several types, depending of the depth of cutting. The choice of a particular type of recovery depends mainly on the condition of the entire pavement structure, which is determined prior to the start of repair works. Optimal mis design of the organic and mineral mixture for the arrangement of the road foundation layer by cold recycling technology is also executed before the beginning of the works. Actually, the main direction of cold recycling technology research in Ukraine is the usage of new materials such as fiber - basalt or polymer, stabilizing additives (ionic or polymeric), industrial waste - slags of various types of production or other by-products. Performed studies have shown that the use of organic and mineral mixtures of optimal design with the insertion of basalt fiber increases crack resistance and durability of the arranged road foundation layer.

Based on the theory of hierarchy analysis, the post-assessment indexes system of cold recycling technology project have been established, and the hierarchy analytic procedure have been used to determine the weighing coefficients for post-assessment indexes of cold recycling engineering of asphalt pavement, and the weighing values for various levels factors were given for the cold recycling base layer project of highway of Shenyang-Yingkou. Considering the road performance and economic benefit, societal and environmental benefit, the analytic hierarchy procedure (AHP) method can effectively avoid making wrong decisions subjectively and made it more scientific and reasonable to determine the weighing values of post-assessment indexes, and it is an effective method to determine the weighing values for post-assessment indexes of the cold recycling technology project.

The early asphalt pavement in our country severely reduced the road performance due to various external factors during the use process. According to incomplete statistics, there are more asphalt pavements that need to be renovated and repaired every year in China, and the amount of construction waste such as asphalt concrete and other construction waste reaches 1,000. About ten thousand tons. If such a huge amount of construction waste is not used, it will inevitably cause great pollution to the environment. If it can be reused, not only will it be environmentally friendly and energy-saving, it will also save more than one billion yuan in costs. In view of the above problems, this article conducts related Research and Analysis on the Principle in Plant Cold Recycling for Foamed Bitumen and Mixture Performance to provide reference for future projects.

Abstract Mineral fines are a waste product of aggregate production in quarries and asphalt mixing plants. The incorporation of mineral gabbro dust into foam bitumen causes developing of a mesh reinforcement in the recycled base mixture. This mesh reinforcement, observed in a recycled base structure, induces an increase in stiffness modulus, where its elastic part of complex modulus dominates over the imaginary part. Therefore, it is possible to create a recycled mixture with a lower susceptibility to loading time/temperature. In result, the presence of gabbro dust in recycled mixture limits the magnitude of strains induced by the traffic load. This paper presents the results of the tests carried out on the mineral dusts derived from gabbro rock. Structural and functional properties of the fines were determined to prepare their characteristics. Then, the cold recycled mixtures for the road base were designed with the 5–20% mineral fines content. The mixtures were prepared in cold recycling technology with foamed bitumen. Further tests involved determining mechanical and physical properties of the recycled mixes, including air voids content, Marshall stability, Marshall quotient (stiffness), indirect tensile strength and stiffness modulus at 20°C). The results indicated a positive influence of the gabbro dusts on the investigated parameters. With the use of ANOVA tests, the significance of the influence of the gabbro dust and foamed bitumen on these properties was evaluated. Harrington’s multicriteria method was employed to establish gabbro dust and foamed bitumen amounts, the addition of which would guarantee optimal properties of the recycled base mixture.

Cold recycling technology of old asphalt pavement is a relatively new technology which has important application in the road surface treatment. Combining with the application of the cold recycling technology in rural old asphalt pavement, this paper analyzes and elaborates its construction technology and experience approach. The existing old asphalt pavement material is used in accordance with the new design requirements to form a special pavement structure surface. On rolling forming sections, the test is conducted for compaction, smoothness, bending and sinking and drill-core sampling for compressive strength. The results show that this process meets the general requirements of pavement base, and the quality is good with the advantages of saving costs and reducing waste damaging the environment.
