| Description | The concepts presented in this report can be summarized as follows: 1. The difference in cost between a standard asphalt concrete (AC) and asphalt-rubber concrete (ARC) should result from the difference between the costs and percent binder of the asphalt cement and asphalt rubber (A-R) binder. 2. Based on the above concept the costs the ARC mixes can be estimated based on the costs for AC, asphalt cement the A-R binder. 3. When evaluating alternative rehabilitation strategies other costs such as manhole adjusting, raising guardrails traffic control and life cycle costs should be considered. 4. A cost savings may be considered for A-R mixes since scrap tires are recycled in the ARC mixes. Using the concepts presented in this paper, the agency/engineer will find that A-R systems are often less in initial costs when compared to conventional mixes. The cost effectiveness of A-R systems will be even greater using life cycle costs. |
