Application of cold recycling technology in highway maintenance projects

Cold recycling technology refers to the use of old pavement materials for recycling, which are then added to the new pavement structure after heating and modification to reduce the demand for new materials, reduce resource waste, and improve the sustainability and economy of highway maintenance projects. The application of cold recycling technology in highway maintenance projects can not only effectively extend the service life of the pavement, but also reduce construction costs, improve construction efficiency, improve road performance, and reduce environmental pollution. Therefore, it has received widespread attention and application.

Principles and advantages of cold recycling technology
Cold recycling technology refers to the use of special cold recycling concrete mixing equipment in pavement maintenance and maintenance projects to heat, crush, and mix old pavement materials before using them again in new pavement structures. The principle is to crush and heat the old pavement materials, and then mix them with new asphalt concrete to form a new pavement structure. This can not only reduce the demand for new materials, but also reduce construction costs and improve pavement quality.

Compared with traditional hot regeneration technology, cold regeneration technology has the following advantages:
1. Save resources: Cold regeneration technology can make full use of old pavement materials and reduce the demand for new materials, thereby saving resources and reducing resource waste. 2. Reduce costs: Due to the reduced demand for new materials, cold regeneration technology can effectively reduce construction costs and improve the economy of maintenance projects.
3. Improve pavement performance: Cold regeneration technology can effectively improve the compressive and durability of pavement structures and extend the service life of pavements.
4. Reduce construction time: Cold regeneration technology can improve construction efficiency, shorten construction periods, and reduce the impact on traffic.
5. Reduce environmental pollution: Cold regeneration technology can reduce damage to the environment and reduce pollution emissions during construction.

Application of cold regeneration technology in highway maintenance projects
1. Pavement maintenance: In highway maintenance projects, as the service life of roads increases, cracks, potholes and other surface damage problems appear on the pavement, which require timely maintenance. Traditional pavement maintenance projects require a large amount of new materials and high construction costs, while the use of cold regeneration technology can make full use of old pavement materials, reduce the demand for new materials, reduce construction costs, and improve the effect of pavement maintenance.
2. Road reconstruction and expansion: In road reconstruction and expansion projects, it is usually necessary to remove old pavement materials and then re-pave new materials. Cold recycling technology can regenerate old pavement materials and reuse them in new pavement structures, thereby reducing the demand for new materials, reducing construction costs, and improving construction efficiency.
3. Prevention and control of diseases: In highway maintenance projects, pavement diseases are a common problem, such as cracking, fatigue, deformation and other problems that need to be repaired in a timely manner. Cold recycling technology can be used to regenerate old pavement materials and reuse them in new pavement structures, effectively improving the pavement's compressive strength and durability, and extending the pavement's service life.
4. Improve the sustainability of projects: The use of cold recycling technology can save resources, reduce construction costs, improve pavement performance, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the sustainability of highway maintenance projects.

Application status and development trend of cold recycling technology in my country
At present, cold recycling technology has been widely used in highway maintenance projects in my country. According to statistics from the National Highway Administration, in 2019, cold recycling technology accounted for more than 30% of national highway maintenance projects, and in some areas it has become the main technical means of highway maintenance.

With the continuous improvement of my country's transportation infrastructure and the continuous increase in highway maintenance projects, the application of cold recycling technology is also being promoted and deepened. There will be the following development trends in the future:
1. Technical improvement: With the continuous advancement of science and technology, cold recycling technology will continue to improve technology, improve the quality and performance of recycled materials, further reduce construction costs, and improve construction efficiency.
2. Industrial development: At present, my country's cold recycling technology still has certain limitations. It is necessary to increase investment in equipment, materials, personnel, etc., promote the industrialization of cold recycling technology, and improve the popularization and application level of technology.
3. Environmental protection requirements: With the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, cold recycling technology will receive more attention and support, and cold recycling technology will be more widely used in the future.
4. Policy guidance: The government will increase policy support for cold recycling technology, promote the application of cold recycling technology in highway maintenance projects, and promote the sustainable development of highway maintenance projects.

Cold recycling technology has broad application prospects in highway maintenance projects, which is of great significance to improving the sustainability and economy of maintenance projects and ensuring highway traffic safety.
With the continuous advancement of technology and continuous policy support, cold regeneration technology will play an increasingly important role in my country's highway maintenance projects.
