Description Ground tire rubber is investigated as an additive in asphalt pavement construction. A blend of ground tire rubber and asphalt cement at elevated temperatures is called "asphalt-rubber". The blend consists of 18 to 26 percent ground tire rubber by total weight of the blend. Other systems in which rubber is considered an elastic aggregate were also studied. These mixtures are not considered asphalt-rubber because rubber is not blended with the asphalt cement prior to mixing with mineral aggregates. These materials are called "asphalt concrete rubber-filled" for dense graded mixes, and "friction course rubber-filled" for open graded mixes.
