Site investigation is an important part of the pavement design process. This guide has been developed as an integral part of the mechanistic-empirical pavement design procedures for new pavement and rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing pavement. An investigation requires four steps: (1) the preliminary site investigation and desktop data collection, (2) the detailed site investigation and data collection for design, (3) the site investigation data analysis, and (4) the project investigation report. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6sr85541 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Jones, David Harvey, John Wu, Rongzong https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54z679x4 This document has been prepared to guide practitioners on project investigation, recycling strategy selection, pavement structural design, environmental life cycle and life cycle cost assessment, mix design, and construction of in-place pavement recycling projects on flexible pavements in California. It provides information specific to California conditions to supplement the California Highway Design Manual (HDM), specification documents, and other available design guides. The main changes and updates to the 2017 version of the guide (UCPRC-GL-2017-04) include the following: (1) updates to terminology used for in-place recycling, (2) updates to the project investigation chapter, including alignment with the new Caltrans site investigation guide, which was under review at the time of writing this guide, (3) updates throughout the guide to include cold central plant recycling (CCPR), (4) inclusion of mechanistic-empirical design procedures (CalME) in the design chapter, (5) updates... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54z679x4 Wed, 10 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000 Jones, David Louw, Stefan Harvey, John https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2px7x2cf This document provides guidelines on full-depth reclamation using a combination of foamed asphalt and an active filler, typically portland cement or lime. The following aspects are discussed: Project selection, Mix design, Structural design, Construction. The references provide a list of other commonly used guidelines. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2px7x2cf Fri, 23 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Jones, David Fu, Pengcheng Harvey, John T. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/70v6b651 This document provides guidelines on subgrade soil stabilization and covers mechanical, cementitious, and asphalt methods.

Over the past 100 years a range of chemical treatments has been developed to fill the need for reducing the environmental and social impacts of road dust, improving the performance and safety of unpaved roads, and/or improving the properties of marginal materials to the extent that a road can be given all-weather status or upgraded to a paved standard. Most of these chemical treatments are proprietary and there is often little documented information regarding the chemistry of the treatment, the results of experimental trials to determine under what conditions the chemical treatment will work best, or guidelines... https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0347c9zj Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Jones, David
