CORRECT VERIFIED BEST RATED A+ FOR PASS
Pavement Recycling: Cold in Place - CORRECT ANSWERS On site recyling of 2-5 inches
deep. Reusing 100% pavement with addition of additive
Pavement Recycling: Full Depth Reclamation - CORRECT ANSWERS use of a base course
and 100% of existing materials crushed and blended.
Pavement Recycling: Hot Plant recycling - CORRECT ANSWERS Aggregate and asphalt
cement broken down to their original state and reused to make asphalt concrete
Pavement Recycling: Hot in place - CORRECT ANSWERS Onsite recycling. One pass-

and new wearing surface follows on top.
Pavement Recycling: Cold Planning - CORRECT ANSWERS Controlled milling of the
surface of pavement
Pavement Recycling: Soil Stabilization - CORRECT ANSWERS permanent physical and
chemical alteration of sub-soils to increase load bearing capacity
