| Description |
An
Assessment of Ontario scrap tire crumb rubber modified hot-mix
demonstration projects indicated the wet process can surpass
conventional mixes in performance with favourable life-cycle
costs. These findings, and development of improved AR mix design
procedures and terminal blended AR with minimum storage stability
of 24 hours, resulted in three AR projects in 1994. A modified
dry process project was also successfully completed using finer
CRM (30 mesh). The specific project studied involved resurfacing
a pavement in Brantford with two lifts of hot mix incorporating
AR. This hot mix was designed, produced, placed and compacted
without any problems. During the Marshall mix design, it is important
to allow mix conditioning prior to briquette compaction and place
a surcharge on the compacted briquette to prevent rebound during
cooling. During field compaction, it is necessary to use a soap
solution with all rollers and continue finish rolling until the
AR mix has cooled. There were no perceived environmental problems.
Overall project monitoring involved mix compliance, compaction,
smoothness, friction and resilient properties. |
