Abstract:Since 1990, it has been the policy of the State of Arizona that the recycling and reuse of
waste tires are the highest priority. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT)
has long supported the use of recycled waste tire rubber in asphalt rubber hot mix. AR
mixtures have been shown to perform successfully and have several added benefits such
as the reduction of highway noise, providing better surface drainage characteristics to
enhance visibility and skid on wet pavement surfaces. Furthermore, some aspects of life
cycle costs have also been conducted and demonstrated the potential impacts on
maintenance and rehabilitation savings to ADOT. Joint ASU/ADOT research activities
related to Asphalt Rubber (AR) mixtures started in July 2001 and are continuing. In this
work we test the hypothesis that AR-ACFC road surface layer results in less tire wear
than PCC road surface layer.
