Cold recycling of asphalt pavements
Abstract
A new way of rehabilitating road pavement structures, based on the cold process recycling technology, is presented in the paper. The application, realization, and required mechanical plant is described, and an overview of advantages of this technology from the standpoint of cost-effectiveness and environmental protection is presented. The first example of the use of this technology for rehabilitation of national road D555 (Vinkovci - Županja Section), conducted in 2008, is analyzed. A practical application of this technology on Croatian roads is recommended.
