| Description | In the early 1960s a new method for utilizing recycled scrap tire rubber with asphalt was conceived. This paper is a progress report on the growth of this concept. The material, known as OVER-FLEX?, was invented by Charles H. McDonald of Phoenix, Arizona. During his years as a civil and materials engineer for the Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration) Mr. McDonald searched for an effective procedure to correct flexure cracking in pavements. This type of distress is manifested by a map pattern or alligator cracking. The cracks will reflect through a conventional overlay of asphalt concrete. The only sure solution to the problem is complete and costly reconstruction with a new base and surface engineered for todays traffic and wheel loadings. |
