In 2012 Virginia Department of Transportation constructed two test sections at the National Center for Asphalt Technology Test Track containing asphalt processed via cold central plant recycling (CCPR) with identical asphalt overlays. One section contained a stabilized base beneath the CCPR layer (Section S12), similar to a full-depth reclamation layer; the other included an unstabilized aggregate base beneath the CCPR layer (Section N4). Both sections were subjected to trafficking by loaded trucks for a total of 30 million equivalent single axle loads. Minor cracking was observed at the surface of the section with the unstabilized base; the section with the stabilized foundation exhibited no surface cracking. Furthermore, strain, pressure, and deflection measurements showed better performance for the section with the stabilized foundation than the section with the unstabilized base. Because of the relatively unchanged performance of Section S12, it was taken out of service to conduct a forensic investigation. This paper presents the analysis of the instrumentation results, coring, trenching, and mechanistic testing and modeling, to better understand and compare the performance between sections. The stabilized base was found to greatly reduce bending action in the section, exhibited no substantial rutting, but also contained what appeared to be some shrinkage cracks. However, these cracks did not propagate to the surface, indicating that the CCPR layer may be an effective crack mitigator. Further, it was found that mechanistic modeling using AASHTOWare Pavement ME design software overestimated the rutting but predicted similar international roughness index and cracking to that observed in the field.
