Research and Application of Hot In-Place Recycling Technology for Asphalt Pavement is the first comprehensive book on the topic that presents over two decades of theoretical and practical experience gained in China. The book gives comprehensive coverage of HIPR, including pavement evaluation, distress analysis, mix design, processes and equipment selection, implementation and acceptance criteria. In eight chapters, this book covers HIPR from theoretical and practical viewpoints, and provides detailed case-studies based on real-world experience. This book includes everything engineers need to apply HIPR to improve sustainability and reduce disruption during the maintenance and repair of asphalt. - Presents, for the first time in English, decades of experience and research on Hot in-Place Recycling Technology (HIPR) for asphalt pavements - Considers all aspects of HIPR, giving engineers all they need to use the technique for road maintenance and repair - Details how HIPR drastically improves the sustainability of asphalt and reduces disruption to traffic during repair and maintenance work - Includes detailed case studies from thirty years of HIPR in China, giving context and practical know-how

Eco-efficient Pavement Construction Materials acquaints engineers with research findings on new eco-efficient pavement materials and how they can be incorporated into future pavements. Divided into three distinctive parts, the book emphasizes current research topics such as pavements with recycled waste, pavements for climate change mitigation, self-healing pavements, and pavements with energy harvesting potential. Part One considers techniques for recycling, Part Two reviews the contribution of pavements for climate change mitigation, including cool pavements, the development of new coatings for high albedo targets, and the design of pervious pavements. Finally, Part Three focuses on self-healing pavements, addressing novel materials and design and performance. Finally, the book discusses the case of pavements with energy harvesting potential, addressing different technologies on this field. - Offers a clear and concise lifecycle assessment of asphalt pavement recycling for greenhouse gas emission with temporal aspects - Applies key research trends to green the pavement industry - Includes techniques for recycling waste materials, the design of cool pavements, self-healing mechanisms, and key steps in energy harvesting

This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, pavement designers, highway, material, research, and specification engineers, and others interested in economical methods for reconstructing or rehabilitating asphalt concrete pavements. It describes the processes and equipment used for hot in-place recycling of asphalt concrete and provides information on mix designs, performance, and guidelines for its effective use. A significant amount of the information provided is based on the current practices of state highway agencies. As such, numerous case histories are included in the report.
