• Abstract:
  When the term shingles is used, one thinks of the roofing material on a house. When asked what shingles could be used for, one again thinks of roofing a house. Shingles are primarily used for that purpose, but they can also be used for other purposes, such as replacing virgin materials used in mixtures for constructing pavements. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has taken a look into and studied the use of shingles waste material called Reclaimed Asphalt Shingles (RAS). The city of Chicago and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Illinois Tollway) have been using RAS for a number of years with much success. Now IDOT is moving toward increased use of RAS as a potential cost-savings measure. Projects constructed using RAS have performed adequately during their initial performance period. This report will take a look into the background of shingles (how shingles are made, the different types of waste shingles, etc.), the use of shingles in hot-mix asphalt (HMA), and special studies that are underway or have been completed by IDOT to understand the use of RAS.
