Abstract
This paper presents a case study of full-depth reclamation (FDR) on US-49 in Madison County, Mississippi. Laboratory and field test data are presented for FDR activities from construction through 53 months of service. US-49 was chosen as a case study because (a) the reclamation process encountered highly variable and large quantities of particles finer than 75 µm; (b) reclamation was performed to a depth of 16 in., which is relatively deep; (c) the presence of numerous fine particles in a relatively deep reclaimed layer used for a high-traffic application was not a typical FDR situation; and (d) FDR was initiated after construction began to alleviate issues that occurred during construction. Laboratory and field testing performed over a 53-month period suggest the pavement is performing well.
