Guide to FULL-DEPTH RECLAMATION (FDR)

a new base layer. The FDR process begins with using a road reclaimer to pulverize an existing asphalt pavement and a portion of the underlying base, subbase, and/or subgrade. Usually the pulverized material is uniformly blended with an additional stabilizing material such as portland cement to provide an upgraded, homogeneous material.

Solar Reflectance Values of Concrete

shows samples of the fine and coarse aggregates. Except for white portland cement, the portland cements were about the same shade of gray (Fig. 1). Individual particles of fine aggregate (typically erosion sediment largely consisting of granite, quartz, and feldspar) varied in color, and the lightest color fine aggregate was limestone (Fig. 2).

RADIANT HEAT WITH CONCRETE - Portland Cement …

of heating address the heat loss of the structure, while radiant floor systems address the heat loss of the human body. Radiant floors take advantage of concrete’s thermal mass: they absorb and store heat, then conduct it directly to the feet and to objects in the room that in turn re-radiate heat. Radiant heat warms objects, not just the air ...
