Description: This Project Information Sheet describes the use of Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) with cement to rehabilitate downtown streets in Reno, Nevada. Even with the challenges of project-specific limitations such as the maintaining of curb lip elevations, the presence of cobbles in the subgrade, insufficient or contaminated base, shallow utilities, the urban setting, and the high traffic volumes, FDR was selected as the best engineering and economic alternative. The existing asphalt surfacing, base material, and subgrade soils were pulverized and blended together with cement and water and compacted, creating a new cement-stabilized base. The new stabilized base then received a thin hot-mix asphalt surface course. This process saved the City more than 50% of the cost it would have incurred to remove and replace these streets. Sold in packs of 25.
