Typical Conventional Roadway Design for CDOT
• Sub-base granular material (non-recycled)
• Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) base course
• Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay w/ RAP– Urban environment allows RAP
![Page 3: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Initiatives Taken by CDOT• Permeable Pavements
– Concrete– Hot Mix Asphalt
• Ground Tire Rubber (GTR)• Higher % Recycle Content
– RAP– Crushed Concrete
• Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)

What We’ve Learned
![Page 5: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Unique Attributes in Construction w/ Pervious PCC• Training - specify• Material
– No internal vibration– Unit wt vs. slump/air– Susceptible to temperature
(?)• Placing / Finishing Equipment• Curing Critical• Maintenance / Cleaning
![Page 6: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Revisiting Pervious in 2009• Revising Mix proportioning
– Blending coarse aggregates– Cementitious Amounts / Type– Unit weights - relation to strength &
permeability
• Testing & Acceptance
• Modified Construction Techniques
![Page 7: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Modified Construction Methods
![Page 8: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key Mixture Considerations regarding Pervious HMA
• Followed knowledge base on open-graded / SMA mixes
• Wanted to limit plant modifications to urban producers (fibers)
• Trial Blends with liquid AC options– Polymer, NO Fibers (drain down issues)– GTR modified, NO Fibers (as – built)
![Page 9: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHY GTR liquid AC?• Other agencies were on board• Cook County GTR Task Force
– CDOT– IDOT – IL Tollway
• Willing to try it
![Page 10: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pro’s to using GTR liquid AC• Limited - No Cost Implications
– No Fibers– No plant modifications
• Environmental goodness– 1 tire / 1 ton
• Terminal Blended = easy to use• Polymer Equivalent Liquid
(PG 64-22 + GTR)

Unique Attributesin Construction w/ GTR
• Plant– Silo storage
• Field– Stability
• Min / Max Lifts– Rollers– Temperatures
• Maintenance / Cleaning
8” Pervious HMA
(4” + 2” + 2”)

Monitoring Pervious Applications
• 2 yr program • Rutting• Raveling• Permeability• Albedo
![Page 13: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What we learned…maintenance is the key!

High Recycle HMA
• Low ESAL / N30 Surface Mix
• 40% RAP• 10-15% Recycled PCC• 2nd season added GTR• CDOT In-House Crews
![Page 15: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why Higher Recycle Content
Mix?

WMA - How it came to be...
• Made sense with ongoing green initiatives within CDOT
• Tollway willing to try, coordinated our efforts (both trials same week)
• No additional cost to CDOT– Thank you Meadwestvaco, Ogden
Materials/Bigane Paving, S.T.A.T.E. Testing and the Tollway
![Page 17: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pro’s to WMA• Minor Plant Modification
– Evotherm technology
• Produced at 230˚ F• Placed from 230˚ - 180˚ F• Same rolling pattern• No difference in workability• Reduced odor, fumes• Reduced fuel / energy• Potential to extend season
![Page 18: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Future Initiatives for CDOT• Recycled PCC
– Back into PCC– Clean, sub-base material
• Recycled “wash H20”
• FRAP, WMA + GTR• Modified Pervious Apps• Cement alternatives• Recycled shingles in HMA
![Page 19: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What’s holding us back?• Time• Money
– Develop– Implement– Evaluate performance
• Types of projects / programs willing to try (satisfying funding partners)
• Knowledge base / method to implementation
![Page 20: Sustainable Streets for Chicagoland… CDOT’s Green Pavement Initiatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557c6e5cd8b42a855d8b4e36/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No-brainers to Green YOUR Hardscape
• Maximize RAP/FRAP in your HMA• Increasing recycled cementitious contents• GTR modified HMA designs• Increase Pervious Surfaces where
opportunities exist• Other unique opportunities…
