Incinerator Residue in Bituminous Base Construction

Résumé du livre

The use of incinerator residue as an aggregate in a bituminous base pavement (tremed littercrete) was studied. Following a laboratory investigation a test section consisting of the experimental hot- mixed littercrete pavement, and a conventional hot-mixed asphaltic concrete pavement were placed on a city street in Houston, Texas. The two pavements were covered with a 1-1/2 in. (3.8 cm) wearing surface. Samples were taken of the loose mix. Cores were taken after compaction (before traffic), and cores were taken after six months in service. Results of laboratory and field evaluations show that the littercrete pavement meets current specifications for asphalt stabilized materials and littercrete can be constructed using conventional equipment and technology.
