The present case study refers to the rehabilitation work in the Regional Road ER361 between Amiais de Cima and Alcanena, Portugal, using an in-place cold recycling solution with foamed bitumen. From a circular economy perspective, this solution allowed to make full use of the construction and demolition wastes (CDW) generally produced in this type of works. Two factors significantly impact the environment due t...
This study aims to assess the full-depth reclamation of a distressed pavement using in situ recycling with foamed bitumen. It is not widely used due to the need for specific equipment not always available. However, it presents several advantages compared to emulsion or cement-based recycling solutions. It can be open to traffic more rapidly and does not present shrinkage problems. Thus, constructing a pavement ...
O presente caso de estudo pretende avaliar as vantagens e desvantagens da reciclagem a frio com betume-espuma, em profundidade, num pavimento muito degradado. Em Portugal, esta tecnologia tem sido pouco utilizada pela necessidade de equipamento específico, embora possa ser uma alternativa à reciclagem com emulsão ou cimento. A redução do tempo de abertura ao tráfego e do tempo de cura e a eliminação de problema...
