| Description |
Scrap
tire rubber was mixed into an asphalt concrete wearing course
to study the effect of ice disbonding from the pavement surface
under traffic. Rubber contents of 0, 3, 6 and 12% by weight were
studied. Initial laboratory ice disbonding test results led to
the development of a new paving material, Chunk Rubber Asphalt
Concrete (CRAC), that uses larger pieces of rubber in a much
denser asphalt concrete mix. Strength values doubled and ice
disbonding performance was enhanced. |
