Description	ARC is defined as the use of reacted Asphalt-Rubber as a binder in asphalt concrete. Asphalt-Rubber has been successfully used as a seal coat for more that 19 years. This survey reports on 35 projects, throughout the United States, where Asphalt-Rubber was used as a binder in asphalt concrete. There are no standard tests or design standards for Asphalt-Rubber Concrete mix. This has deterred the design process, but design engineers are now able to use an accepted standard. However, some engineers have questions on the use of Asphalt-Rubber as a binder concerning: - Durability under traffic - Flexibility under traffic and varying climatic conditions - Expected life cycle - Performance This survey provides performance data and answers these questions, based on trial mixes and 13 years of use under traffic and in various climatic conditions.
