The review of current technology pertaining to the recycling of existing portland cement concrete pavements was conducted. The purpose was to assess the applicability of recycling to U.S. Air Force pavement rehabilitation work. Costs of alternatives were reduced to simple models for use in evaluating sensitivity to cost factors. A study of projects on which this technology was used identified aggregate cost and haul distance as key factors.

This interim report documents the field performance of nine concrete pavement projects that incorporate recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in the construction of the pavement. Multiple sections were evaluated on many of the nine projects, due to perceived differences in performance levels or variations in pavement design (such as the use of virgin aggregate or the inclusion of dowel bars). All told, a total of 17 sections (of which 12 contain RCA) were subjected to an extensive field testing program, consisting of pavement condition surveys, drainage surveys, falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing, coring, and serviceability assessments.

The 25 papers presented at the National Seminar on Portland Cement (PCC) Pavement Recycling and Rehabilitation are reproduced in this report. The seminar was held in St. Louis, Missouri, September 27-30, 1981, and was attended by 219 people from national, state, and local governments, as well as industry and academia. These proceedings cover all aspects of PCC pavement recycling and rehabilitation, including condition surveys, jacking, drainage, joint repair, profile correction, bonded overlays, and load transfer restoration for both urban and rural situations. Cost and energy considerations, specifications, quality control, and environmental considerations were addressed. Equipment of all types was discussed and research currently underway was reviewed.

Sustainable Concrete Materials and Structures focuses on recent research progress and innovations in this important field of research. All aspects of the technical routes to sustainable concrete and structures are discussed in detail. These include recent findings on sustainable concrete production and structural design and construction. Low-carbon cement, sustainable concrete mix design, durability, and structural applications are discussed in detail. Emphasis is placed on how to bring some of the innovations in concrete technology closer to market. Information on techno-economic analysis, economy of scale, and the supply chain of sustainable concrete is also addressed. The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers working in civil engineering, material science, chemical engineering, and the development and manufacture of construction materials. - Provides a comprehensive collection of technical reviews on the latest advancements in sustainable concrete materials and structures - Presents state-of-the-art research on preparation, production, processing, and implementation techniques for sustainable concrete materials and structures - Features techno-economic analysis for each technology discussed - Covers lifecycle assessment, the Circular Economy and end of life of concrete structures - Includes industry case studies on implementation
