About the talk
Since the 1970s, recycled tire rubber (RTR) has been used to modify asphalt binders to make paving applications that are more flexible, durable and cost effective. The predominant technology has been field blended, wet processed Asphalt-Rubber, pioneered in Arizona. Since the early 2000s, RTR has been used in terminal blends to meet Performance Graded asphalt specifications. In 2010, the next generation dry processes emerged, where a finer-grind RTR is engineered or pre-treated to make modified dense-graded mixes that use a balanced mix design approach. This presentation will touch on some of the historic mile markers and then focus on the new dry processes that make RTR easier to implement in paving applications.
