Practice question
How does full-depth reclamation (FDR) differ from a mill-and-overlay?
- FDR only paints the old surface; mill-and-overlay rebuilds the entire embankment
- FDR pulverizes the existing asphalt and a portion of the base, then stabilizes and compacts that material as a new base; mill-and-overlay removes a surface thickness and replaces it with new HMA
- FDR is only used on Portland cement concrete pavements
- There is no difference; the terms are interchangeable in MDOT work
Answer: B — FDR pulverizes the existing asphalt and a portion of the base, then stabilizes and compacts that material as a new base; mill-and-overlay removes a surface thickness and replaces it with new HMA
