Research and Application of Hot In-Place Recycling Technology for Asphalt Pavement

Book excerpt: 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
