Update of WiscLEACH Roadway Environmental Assessment Software
Update of WiscLEACH Roadway Environmental Assessment Software
This project, in partnership with Jackson State University, updates on the development of a software program. WiscLEACH, a web-based computing tool, is used to evaluate groundwater impacts from beneficial use of industrial byproducts in roadway stabilization and embankment.structural fill applications.
Design System for HMA Containing RAS Material
Design System for HMA Containing RAS Material
The primary objective of this research is to develop and validate a simple design system for hot mix asphalt (HMA) containing a high percentage of reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS).
Recycled Base Course Materials Stabilized with Cement and Cement Kiln Dust
Recycled Base Course Materials Stabilized with Cement and Cement Kiln Dust
The objectives of this study was to determine the resilient modulus of two recycled roadway materials: recycled pavement material and road surface gravel with and without cement and cement kiln dust stabilization. In order to replicate field conditions, Large Scale Model Experiments were conducted.
Updated User Guidelines in Green Infrastructure
Updated User Guidelines in Green Infrastructure
These reports detail the properties and considerations of using materials in green infrastructure construction.
Evaluation of Recycled Asphalt Shingles as Structural Fill
Evaluation of Recycled Asphalt Shingles as Structural Fill
In this research, possible reuse of discarded asphalt shingles as structural fill was investigated. The engineering properties that were evaluated include: compaction characteristics, hydraulic conductivity, compressability shear strength, and coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest.
Synthesis of Use of Crumb Rubber in Hot Mix Asphalt
Synthesis of Use of Crumb Rubber in Hot Mix Asphalt
Ground tire rubber (GTR) is a unique recycled material and it is not clear what the optimum method for incorporating GTR in the asphalt is. This project focused on developing optimum methods of processing and blending GTR, reacting time between GTR and asphalt binders while blending, and the designing of GTR modified binders to yield superior performance.

Railroad and Highway Reconstruction with in-situ Reclamation Materials
This project focuses on sustainable construction of highways and railways for increasing freight capacity of the transportation systems in the US.
Leaching of Trace Elements from Materials Stabilized with Fly Ash
Leaching of Trace Elements from Materials Stabilized with Fly Ash
This project focuses on two theses:
1. The Leaching of Trace Elements from Roadway Materials Stabilized with Fly Ash
2. Leaching from Soil Stabilized with Fly Ash: Behavior and Mechanisms
Trace Metal Leaching from High Carbon Fly Ash Mixed Soils
Trace Metal Leaching from High Carbon Fly Ash Mixed Soils
This project is in partnership with the University of Maryland, was a comprehensive laboratory study to evaluate the trace metal leaching from fly ash stabilized soils.
Utilization of Cementitious High Carbon Fly Ash (CHCFA) in CIR
Utilization of Cementitious High Carbon Fly Ash (CHCFA) in CIR
This project evaluate the performance of cementitous high carbon fly ash stabilized recycled asphalt pavement as a base course material in a real world setting. Three test road cells were built in partnership with MnROAD in Minnesota.
Stabilization of RPM and RSG with Coal Combustion Product
Stabilization of RPM and RSG with Coal Combustion Product
Conducted by UW, this project is sponsored by the Minnesota Local Roads Research Board (LRRB), with support from the RMRC. This project is evaluating the stabilization of reclaimed pavement material (RPM) and RAP with CCPs.
