Description Recommendations to use rubber for improvements of asphalt pavements date back for more than a century. This paper reviews the work performed from the earliest developments to current projects. Emphasis is given to the difficulties encountered in putting laboratory proven advantages to practical use in highway construction. Some of the difficulties stem from poor communications between rubber technologists and highway engineers. In order to establish good communication rubber technologists must become fully aware of the actual objectives of highway engineers, and highway engineers must become acquainted with properties of various rubbers and their effects on asphalt. This paper is an attempt to bridge this communication gap by discussing the effects of rubberized asphalt in terms meaningful to rubber technologists and highway engineers.
