Book excerpt: Significant use of cold in-place recycling (CIR) has occurred in Oregon since 1984 as an alternative to other rehabilitation techniques or to the reconstruction of distressed asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. Due to the initial success of the projects cold recycled during 1984-85, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Oregon State University (OSU) undertook, in 1986, an intensive study to investigate cold inplace recycling. The objectives of this study were to: 1. develop an improved mix design procedure for cold in-place recycled pavements, 2. evaluate the structural contribution of the cold recycled pavements, and 3. develop improved construction guidelines and specifications for these pavements. Presented in this thesis are two papers summarizing the efforts and advancements made to achieve the first two objectives. Also included is a paper that evaluates the repeatability of two test methods which were, in part, used to evaluate the structural contribution of cold recycled pavements.
