Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for rehabilitation or recycling and strengthening of road surfaces using cold recycling technology. More particularly, the invention relates to a process whereby a geomaterial, such as mesh, membrane, textile, grid or fabric membrane, is placed up to 300 mm underneath in-situ road surface material, which has been loosened as part of a regenerative or recycling process, as an added structural benefit to the rehabilitated road structure.
  • the invention also relates to an apparatus suitable for retrofitting to existing paver devices for carrying out the process of the invention.
  • Road and pavement surfaces typically comprise structural layers of compacted materials (roadbase) on a compacted subgrade, covered by a friction or surface layer.
  • the friction layer is typically substantially non-structural and is often made up of one or more surface dressing layers which are about 100mm thickness and which act as water-resistant protective layers with skid resistance.
  • Subgrade typically formed of non-bound material, is the in-situ native material upon which the road or pavement structure is placed or constructed at selected location. A subgrade that can sustain a high degree of loading without an excessive deformation is considered good quality.
  • Structural layers placed above the sub- grade typically consists of aggregate such as natural gravel or stone (both crushed and uncrushed) and other granular materials, bituminous macadam base, hydraulically bound macadam or treated base, including treatment with lime, cement or bituminous binders.
  • aggregate such as natural gravel or stone (both crushed and uncrushed) and other granular materials, bituminous macadam base, hydraulically bound macadam or treated base, including treatment with lime, cement or bituminous binders.
  • the friction course, making up the top layer of the road or pavement is the part of the road structure which forms the driving surface and is in direct contact with the vehicle wheels and typically constitute asphalt materials comprising bitumen binders.
  • the subgrade must be able to receive without deflection loads transmitted from the road or pavement surface through the structural pavement layers. Where the subgrade is weak, it is generally necessary to have a capping or fill layer over the subgrade to increase the subgrade bearing strength before the actual road pavement thickness required can be determined. Critically, the strength of the subgrade will be maintained or even increased by good drainage, with bad drainage weakening an otherwise good subgrade.
  • the primary function of the road base structural layers is to sustain and spread the traffic load sufficiently during transfer downwards to the subgrade formation.
  • the subgrade load bearing capacity is frequently affected by factors including the types of soil, moisture content, and degree of compaction. If the road base structural layers becomes water saturated, the load can not be dissipated to the underlying subgrade in an effective manner; such saturation can occur either from rising water from the subgrade or downward ingress from a friction course which has become pervious. Therefore, free draining subgrade is considered the best while peat type is considered as the poorest type of subgrade material in order to both maximise subgrade strength and minimise water transfer to the roadbase structural layers above.
  • Road surfaces deteriorate over time as a result of continuous damage resulting from traffic, and more significantly, from environmental stresses, which include thermal stresses such as freeze thaw cycles and cold and heat extremes, together with natural deterioration resulting from aging and crushing in- situ. For instance, some clay soils can shrink and swell depending upon moisture content, whereas soils with excessive fines may be susceptible to frost heave in freezing areas.
  • road surface drainage occurs across the (veneer) friction course on top of the shaped structural road base layers to an installed drainage system, for example, French drains or a road side ditch.
  • an installed drainage system for example, French drains or a road side ditch.
  • the water can infiltrate and rests within the road, where repeated vehicle loading can quickly lead to failure as the vehicle load is no longer transferred correctly to the underlying supporting subgrade.
  • aggregates For surface dressed roads, aggregates have a greater affinity for water than they do for their bitumen coating. In the presence of water and movement of the aggregate, the binder film on the aggregate particles can become compromised and water can contact with the underlying structural layers which are often of unbound or hydraulically bound aggregate composition.
  • the broken down binder is stripped off the aggregate particles over time and the protective impervious layer is substantially washed away rendering the surface more prone to water infiltration.
  • good drainage is essential to facilitate the minimisation of seasonal variations in the water table and thus keep the risk of water infiltration and flooding low.
  • water damage is initially caused by pressure from vehicles passing over the road putting stress on the water present in the road pavement. This pressure forces the water further into the core of the road matrix where more damage is caused. The water infiltrates into the structural layers and even the subgrade layer below the road structure weakening the entire road structure.
  • Asphalt overlay is the simplest repair process and involves paving a thin 40-50 mm hot mix asphalt overlay onto an existing surface. Damaged layers of asphalt can be milled off and replaced with fresh course while maintaining the supporting layers. Recycling a thin layer of about 50-150 mm of the asphalt layer can be done by hot in-sitiu processes, whereas deeper conditioning requires cold in-situ or in-plant recycling processes which can tackle rehabilitation at depths of up to 300 mm.
  • Hot paving is useful where the damage is only to the road surface or dressing layers, for example, poor grip or minor surface damage to about 50 mm depth.
  • Hot paving can be carried out by machines such as those described in US Patent 4,011,023, which discloses an asphalt pavement recycling apparatus.
  • This is a machine for hot recycling of a macadam highway pavement, whereby a pickup device removes crumbled pavement material from a roadbed sit, and heaters heat the material as it passes through the machine.
  • the hot recycling process starts with a heating and milling pass to heat and scarify the macadam to be recycled.
  • the relatively soft, hot, lubricated material is easily picked up by a lifting means comprises a chain conveyor having flights which carry the material to heaters within the machine.
  • An applicator applies liquid asphalt to the material to form a rejuvenated mix.
  • roadbed heaters heat the roadbed site, and an applicator applies liquid asphalt.
  • a spreader spreads the mix on the roadbed site, and adjustable screeds preliminarily form the spread mix for final working into a finished road.
  • Such systems are not suitable for lifting roads milled to greater depths, for example, 100 - 300 mm, as are used in cold road recycling.
  • Such milled roadbeds are typically full of hard rock and lumps and cannot be easily lifted by existing reprofiling devices.
  • Cold milling machines are first used to mill a thin layer of the surface. Such processed surfaces are ideal for deposition of a thin layer of fresh hot asphalt dressing using a standard road paver.
  • Tack coats of modified butument emulsions may be applied under the dressing to seal the surface and facilitate bonding of the asphalt surface dressing.
  • Such methods are extrement efficient from the time, environment and econonical standpoint.
  • cold paving techniques which can also be used in place of full road replacement.
  • the road surface is levelled, and treated paving mixture is applied.
  • the levelled surface and new dressings bond to form a new surface.
  • the cold paving mix is distributed across the full width in two separate layers, the first being the profile, the second the surface course layer.
  • Hot recyling can be used where wear and tear results in porous, crack or other deformations in the road surface.
  • the process involved heating the existing surface to soften it so that recyler machines can remove the lubricated surface course, mix it with any necessary virgin mix and relaying it using standard aspalt pavers.
  • Asphalt pavers are quite commonplace and all share a common configuration having a hopper for hot macadam (HMA) in the front, a material feed system for carrying HMA to the rear of the machine by a set of flight conveyor belts, augers for spread out laid material, and a screed for leveling and compacting the surface.
  • Paving machines also have a push roller and truck hitch arrangement which is located on the front of the hopper.
  • the push roller is the portion of the paver that contacts and pushes against trucks that deliver the HMA material to the hopper.
  • the truck hitch holds the transport vehicle in contact with the paver. Trucks reverse to the paver and deposit HMA into the hopper.
  • the material feed system conveys the HMA from the hopper, under the chassis and engine, then to the augers.
  • the amount of HMA carried back by the conveyors is regulated by either variable speed conveyors and augers or flow gates, which can be raised or lowered by the operator or, more often, by an automatic feed control system.
  • the auger receives HMA from the conveyor and spreads it out evenly over the width to be paved. Operation of the material feed system, can have significant effects on overall construction quality and thus long-term pavement performance.
  • HMA must be delivered to maintain a relatively constant delivery of material in front of the screed. This involves maintaining a minimum amount of HMA in the hopper, regulating HMA feed rate by controlling conveyor/auger speed and flow gate openings (if present), and maintaining a constant paving speed.
  • a fluctuating HMA head in front of the screed will affect the screed angle of attack and produce bumps and waves in the finished surface. Furthermore, the hopper should never be allowed to empty during paving as this can results in the leftover cold, large aggregate in the hopper sliding onto the conveyor in a concentrated mass and then being placed on the mat without mixing with any hot or fine aggregate.
  • the road is processed using cold milling techniques, whereby the damaged road layers are milled to depths of up to 300mm, far greater that those used in hot paving techniques involving surface dressing only. In this fashion surface course, binder and even part of the base layer are milled up together. Binder agents are added in precise amounts depending on measured requirments. All of the worn road material is recycled by adding one or several binding agents.
  • a thin surface course of virgin asphalt mix can be applied on top of the cold recycled layer by standard road pavers, and is then compacted by rollers.
  • the insitu process is extremely efficient, however, many roads are inherently unsuitable for in-sitiu cold recycling using sizeable cold recyling trains, for example, where serve damage to the subgrade has occured, poor access, smaller country roads, or heavy traffic flow.
  • typically in-plant methods are used as they are less costly than maintaining cold recycling trains.
  • the drawback of the in-plant method mainly arise from a large increase in cost and jobtime as materials have to be hauled from site to the treatment plant and back, rather than utilising the one pass methods facilitated by cold recyling trains. It is therefore one object of the present invention to faciliate alternative means for cold insitu recycling.
  • Cold recycling involves recovering and re-using 100% material from an existing pavement, without the addition of heat.
  • hot recycling is restricted to heating and reusing upper layers of asphalt material on roads
  • cold recycling can be applied to both thin layers of asphalt (typically to 50 mm depth) to thicker layers (to about 300 mm) that include more than one different pavement materials (full depth reclamation).
  • One advantage resulting from the cold reclamation being that a single thicker layer of stabilised material is far stronger than separate thin layers making up an equivalent thickness.
  • cold recycling machines are designed to recycle thick paving layers in a single pass.
  • modern recycling machines are usually huge, powerful machines, often set on tracks, and which can have inbuilt milling capacity, pumping systems for addition of binders and other fluids, storage tanks for such chemicals, and paving screens for reprofiling the recycled materials.
  • milling capacity pumping systems for addition of binders and other fluids
  • storage tanks for such chemicals
  • paving screens for reprofiling the recycled materials.
  • the size and oftentimes cost of these powerful machines is prohibitive for their use on small or unstable regional or country roads or paths.
  • Geomaterials are commonly used in road construction for the retardation or prevention of water movement for example vertical movement. Suitably then they comprise continuous sheets of low permeability materials. Using a geomaterial to separate the subgrade from the roadbase by laying a membrane between these layers strengthens the road base by preventing layer contamination resulting from sub-base mixing with sub-grade. Furthermore, such membranes limit damage caused by water infiltration, in addition to preventing surface water pooling. Bitumen coated membranes provide a waterproof layer which can protect the road structure from water infiltration and the resulting damage and weakening of the road. Geotextile membranes provide the drainage, separation and reinforcement required to stabilize the base of roads on soft subgrade. Many geomaterials are specifically for strengthening road as reinforcement acting in conjunction with the structural roadbase layers.
  • EP 0 241 803 describes laying down the grid fabric on a road level of a bituminous carrier (asphalt) layer, the layer having been prepared in a pre-fabric laying step.
  • the fabric web is wound onto a carrier sleeve aligned transversely to the direction of fabrication is fixed against the road level and the fabric web is wound off the support sleeve in the direction of fabrication by moving the support sleeve and the mixed product for forming the pavement is applied to the laid-down grid fabric by means of a pavement fabricator, the pavement fabricator equipped with a screed having a beam distributing and releasing the mixed product over the fabrication width in the direction of fabrication behind the screed and having in front of the running gear pushing rollers for the lorries bringing the mixed product to the pavement fabricator.
  • the fabric web is wound off a carrier sleeve located between the push rollers and the beam of the pavement fabricator during the fabrication of the pavement and the carrier sleeve is moved together with the pavement fabricator in the direction of fabrication.
  • This device appears to be part of a surface dressing process, where a milling machine has milled and lifted an asphalt surface to a desired depth, and the lifted material is delivered by truck to paver reservoir located on the front of the paver, whereby it is conveyed to the paver screen and overlaid on the deposited fabric.
  • the system is said to be useable with a repaver device; however, neither devices would suitable for cold carrying out recycling process at cold rehabilitation depths.
  • Prior art repavers are only capable of lifting from X to Y mm of milled and/or heated lubricated surface dressing layers,
  • An apparatus or process relating to same would advantageously allow in-situ cold road regeneration in a fraction of the time currently required for carrying out this operation, with cost efficiencies, improved safety for workers, increased road service life, reduction in maintenance cost for years, minimising traffic disruption associated with road closures for regular maintenance roadworks.
