Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optional additional process which can be employed during routine rehabilitation or recycling of road surfaces. More particularly, the invention relates to a process whereby a geomaterial, such as mesh, membrane, textile, grid or fabric membrane, is placed underneath in-situ road surface material, which has been loosened as part of a regenerative or recycling process, as an added structural benefit to the rehabilitated road structure.
  • a geomaterial such as mesh, membrane, textile, grid or fabric membrane
  • Road and pavement surfaces typically comprise structural layers of compacted materials (often called roadbase) on a compacted subgrade (often called formation level), covered by a friction layer.
  • a friction layer is typicallysubstantially non-structural and is often made up of one or more surface dressing layers, which acts as a water-resistant protective layer with skid resistance.
  • Subgrade is the in-situ native material upon which the road or pavement structure is placed or constructed at selected location. Subgrade is typically then formed of non-bound material. A subgrade that can sustain a high degree of loading without an excessive deformation is considered good quality.
  • Structural layers placed above the sub-grade typically consists of aggregate such as natural gravel or stone (both crushed and uncrushed) and other granular materials, bituminous macadam base, hydraulically bound macadam or treated base, including treatment with lime, cement or bituminous binders.
  • aggregate such as natural gravel or stone (both crushed and uncrushed) and other granular materials, bituminous macadam base, hydraulically bound macadam or treated base, including treatment with lime, cement or bituminous binders.
  • bituminous macadam base As the structural layer(s) lie immediately beneath the friction layer and upon the subgrade, it is the part of the road construction which imparts most integrity to the overall structure and may be considered to be the part of the structure subjected to most intense loading. Therefore, to maximise road service lifecycle, the structural materials must be of very high quality and great care should be taken during its construction.
  • the friction course, making up the top layer of the road or pavement is the part of the road structure which forms the driving surface and is in direct
  • the subgrade must be able to receive without deflection loads transmitted from the road or pavement surface through the structural pavement layers. Where the subgrade is weak (which is usually the case with clay subgrades and/or soils that have a significant clay content), it is generally necessary to have a capping or fill layer over the subgrade to increase the subgrade bearing strength before the actual road pavement thickness required can be determined.
  • the strength of the subgrade will be maintained or even increased by good drainage with bad drainage weakening an otherwise good subgrade.
  • the primary function of the road base structural layers is to sustain and spread the traffic load sufficiently during transfer downwards to the subgrade formation.
  • the subgrade load bearing capacity is frequently affected by factors including the types of soil, moisture content, and degree of compaction. If the road base structural layers becomes water saturated, the load can not be dissipated to the underlying subgrade in an effective manner; such saturation can occur either from rising water from the subgrade or downward ingress from a friction course which has become pervious. Therefore, free draining subgrade is considered the best while peat type is considered as the poorest type of subgrade material in order to both maximise subgrade strength and minimise water transfer to the roadbase structural layers above.
  • the structural pavement layers also intercept upward movement of water (by capillary action) and acts as a separating layer between subgrade and the non-structural road friction course such as surface dressing. This serves to also prevent contamination of the friction course by upward movement of the sub-grade through the friction course, thereby compromising the road or pavement integrity.
  • Road surfaces deteriorate over time as a result of continuous damage resulting from traffic, and more significantly, from environmental stresses, which include thermal stresses such as freeze thaw cycles and cold and heat extremes, together with natural deterioration resulting from aging and crushing in-situ. For instance, some clay soils can shrink and swell depending upon moisture content, whereas soils with excessive fines may be susceptible to frost heave in freezing areas.
  • Water infiltration causes the most serious damage, particularly in cases where drainage is poor.
  • road surface drainage occurs across the (veneer) friction course on top of the shaped structural road base layers to an installed drainage system, for example, French drains or a road side ditch.
  • an installed drainage system for example, French drains or a road side ditch.
  • aggregates have a greater affinity for water than they do for their bitumen coating.
  • the binder film on the aggregate particles can become compromised and water can contact with the underlying structural layers which are often of unbound or hydraulically bound aggregate composition. The broken down binder is stripped off the aggregate particles over time and the protective impervious layer is substantially washed away rendering the surface more prone to water infiltration.
  • frost heave occurs. This involves freezing from the surface downwards, which results in water being drawn up from the lower levels. Subsequent layers of ice are formed which cause the road to expand upwards. Water that has entered the road pavement and is subject to the process of freezing (expansion) and thawing during the winter also brings about the swift failure of the road pavement. Not surprisingly, good drainage helps prevent frost heave and frost damage. If the water table below the road or pavement is allowed to rise up into the road matrix construction layers, water can be imbibed into the core of the matrix (facilitated by capillary action).
  • Hot mix road recycling trains for recycling asphalt and wearing course bituminous macadam have been available for quite some time, but are involve high cost operations and are generally only suitable for wide primary road and motorway type projects covering large areas. Such trains are not at all suited to smaller regional and local roads which have not been designed and constructed to a specific design specification. Such roads can vary greatly in thickness and may be built up from layers of pit run, gravel, broken stone or hydraulically bound macadam. Such roads are typically maintained by repeated rounds of surface dressing replacement of the friction course and by occasional deepening and strengthening of the structural layers prior to new surface dressing. Where road or pavement drainage is poor, for example, on regional, local or indeed rural road networks (where drainage of the road surface generally involves poorly maintained ditches adjacent to the roadway) the problems are compounded.
  • Geomaterials have been used for strengthening, reinforcing, and as water barrier thereby extending the lifetime of roads and pavement. Geomaterials are also used to improve soil conditions for a number of applications. They typically but not exclusively take the form of a sheet of flexible material such as manufactured polymeric or glass fibre or textile or other fabric materials. They are typically used in contact with soil materials or pavements as an integral part of the road or pavement matrix. The most common applications in general use are in pavement systems for both paved and unpaved roadways, for reinforcing embankments and foundation soils, for creating barriers to water flow in liners and cutoffs, and for improving drainage. They generally serve to advantageously increase the load-bearing capacity and lifespan of roads and pavements.
  • Geotextiles are usually classified by their manufacturing process as either woven or non-woven, spun, moulded etc as appropriate to their constituents and nature of the finished material required (impervious fabric or pervious grid etc). Depending on the geomaterial selected, they offer benefits with regard to filtration beneath aggregate sub-base for paved and unpaved roads, as drainage interceptors for horizontal flow, as separator (of dissimilar materials) between subgrade and structural pavement layers in paved and unpaved roads or between subgrade/old pavement layers and new asphalt layers and act as a reinforcement (of weak materials) over soft soils for unpaved roads, paved roads, airfield, railroads, construction foundations.
  • Geomaterials are commonly used for the retardation or prevention of water movement for example vertical movement. Suitably then they acomprise continuous sheets of low permeability materials. Using a geomaterial to separate the subgrade from the roadbase by laying a membrane between these layers strengthens the road base by preventing layer contamination resulting from sub-base mixing with sub-grade. Furthermore, such membranes limit damage caused by water infiltration, in addition to preventing surface water pooling. Bitumen coated membranes provide a waterproof layer which can protect the road structure from water infiltration and the resulting damage and weakening of the road. Geotextile membranes provide the drainage, separation and reinforcement required to stabilize the base of roads on soft subgrade. Many geomaterials are specifically for strengthening road as reinforcement acting in conjunction with the structural roadbase layers.
  • Road and pavement cold asphalt regeneration technology methods are desirable since they recycle road surface materials avoiding use of virgin materials.
  • Re-using existing road binders where present provides an environmentally and economically favourable solution to the problem of road or pavement regeneration as land fill/waste issues are eliminated or at least reduced as well as significantly reducing the embodied carbon content of the renewed pavement.
  • An apparatus or process relating to same would advantageously allow in-situ cold road regeneration in a fraction of the time currently required for carrying out this operation, with cost efficiencies, improved safety for workers, increased road service life, reduction in maintenance cost for years, minimising traffic disruption associated with road closures for regular maintenance roadworks.
  • loosened road or pavement surface material may comprise any uncompacted road base material. It will be further appreciated that the loosened road or pavement surface material may be hot, cold, hydraulically, cement or bitumen bound.
  • the present invention thus allows for lifting of the in-situ road materials, simultaneously laying a geomaterial underneath the loosened and lifted site won materials and relaying the site won materials to an designed road profile over the geomaterial in a one-pass process. This is an extrememly efficient process that allows for geomaterial installation.
  • the lifted loose road or pavement surface material may be treated with at least one additive, chosen to enhance particular mix attributes, to a pre-selected dosage using a calibrated or metered dosing arrangement.
  • geomaterial is deemed to include all suitable materials, typically in the form of a flexible sheet and including materialsfrom geogrids to water proof membranes.
  • geotextile membranes are one example of the preferred type of geomaterial, but also included are mesh, membrane, textile, grid or fabric membrane.
  • the geomaterial will be specially chosen for desired attributes, whether as a water barrier or layer maintenance or as a structural reinforcement, with the appropriate strength, shape and form for site specific application, including expected traffic loading as part of a road design process.
  • step iv may be followed a pre-compacting step. It will be appreciated that this pre-compacting step may be carried out by any suitable compacting apparatus such as a paving apparatus or other equivalent machinery.
  • the invention concerns a highly efficient process for road rehabilitation where a geomaterial is desired.
  • the process of the invention comprises lifting a loosened surface, with the optional addition of materials such as water or other additive to the lifted material in a calibrated or metered fashion, while simultaneously laying a selected geomaterial, for example on the exposed road base or subgrade surface, redepositing the lifted or site won material onto the top of the geomaterial, with some compaction of this resulting profile.
  • the process is advantageous over prior art method of geomaterial placement in that the process has been highly streamlined so that significant time and cost savings can be made by facilitating this step in a single pass operation, thus obviating the need for distinct stages in the works usually associated with geomaterial. Significant road closure time is avoided.
  • the depth of loose material to be lifted is in the range of 60 to 200mm.
  • step (iv) While compaction, typically minor compaction, may occur after step (iv), the relaid treated road or pavement material may be compacted after step (iv).
  • on-site compaction is carried out after step (iv) by compressing the regenerated surface in a traditional post-paving process by any suitable machine or device known to the skilled person, for example, a static or vibrating compactor device.
  • the compacted road base may be topped with a friction course, typically comprising a suitable surface dressing, such as a bituminous sealing layer, for example.
