Presentation Transcript

  1. ASPHALT RUBBER 2000Summary of the Conference • About 220 Registrations • About 185 Attendees • 33 Countries • 40 Papers • Site Visit to Crumb Rubber Factory and Construction Site

  2. Dispel the Myths about Asphalt Rubber(with 20% crumb rubber - wet method) • Field Performance • Way, Shatnawi, Potgieter, Van Heystraeten, Watkins • Cost Effectiveness • Watkins, Way, Hicks • Environmental Effects and Benefits • Turner, Carlson

  3. Other Areas Covered • Laboratory Comparisons of Performance • Different Materials Presented • Binder and Mix Testing • Different Materials Presented • Accelerated Pavement Testing • Different Materials Presented (Most of the times laboratory results were in line with field observations; however occasionally laboratory results and conclusions did not correlate with field observations) More Research!

  4. Functional Properties • Skid Resistance • Noise Reduction • Texture

  5. “Asphalt Rubber”? • Wet Method (with 18-22%) • Wet Method (15%) • Wet Method (10%) - Terminal Blend • Wet Method (5% + SBS) - Terminal Blend • Wet Method (3.5%) - Terminal Blend • Dry Method - 1, 2, 3% of aggregate mass - Short and Long Reaction times • Proprietary Methods (no technical info!)

  6. No evidence presented that ADOT or CALTRANS method (wet method with 18 - 22% crumb rubber)cannot be implemented and used in most parts of the world(on the contrary!)

  7. “Gap-graded”? • The Americans have started misusing this term to describe a grading similar to an SMA or open-grading. Be alert to this fact when reading US literature.
