Why Put Rubber In Asphalt?
Tire rubber is an engineering tool to:
Reduce cracking
Increase asphalt content and asphalt film thickness
Prevent bleeding, flushing, and drain-down
An aid to increase performance life
Save Money in reduced maintenance
Save money in project cost through reduced thickness
Increase safety and reduce noise

Construction Considerations
Control of temperature is most important
Handwork is more difficult
Material is stickier
Cold or wet weather
Considerable handwork
Long haul
Temperature considerations

A-R can be used anywhere
asphalt is used Just need at
least 13 C and
rising temps
and no rain.

Use of Warm Mix Admixtures with
Rubberized Asphalt Mixtures Better Workability of the HotMix Allows
Compaction Aid for Stiffer Mixes
Longer Haul Times due to wider paving window.
Extension of the Paving Season/ Cold Weather Paving
Reduction in Production Temperatures Reduces Emissions
– Better Environment for Workers
– Reduce Blue Smoke / Odor complaints
– Reduce Recordable Emissions
Reduction in Energy Consumption
– Depending on mix it may be possible to save up to 30% on energy costs.
Drain Down test may need modification with additives

Stresses Affecting Rigid Pavements
Combined effects of: – Repeated wheel loadings
– Varying temperature gradients
– Varying moisture gradients (Mohamed and Hansen, 1997; Bouzid and Mang, 1995)
Temperature-induced pavement responses more significant than traffic-induced responses (Mahboub et at, 2004)
Positive temperature gradient – Surface temperature greater than bottom

Effects of Thermal Blanket
– due to the insulating effects, thermal
stresses within the PCCP are reduced
leading to a longer service life.
– beneficial porosity and lower thermal mass
of the AR-ACFC layer aided in releasing
heat at a faster rate at night time.
