Crumb Rubber Asphalt Cost & Analysis
Crumb Rubber Asphalt Cost & Analysis comprises a series of activities, such as materials production, construction, maintenance etc., all of which have environmental impacts. Rubber asphalt is not new but just starting to resurface throughout the US. It is produced from grinding up whole scrap tires from automobiles. Then […]
Crumb Rubber Pavement Introduction
Production of a crumb rubber pavement comprises a series of activities, such as materials production, construction, maintenance etc., all of which have environmental impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can track and quantify the environmental impacts of both individual and total activities of products. It helps identify the activities with the highest […]
Rubber Asphalt Successfully Laid in Switzerland
With millions of tons of Dry Process Rubberized Asphalt successfully laid and counting in the US, Asphalt Plus is turning its sights internationally. Tyre Recycling Solutions (TRS) in partner with Empa’s Concrete and Asphalt lab have recently started to explore what benefits Rubberized Asphalt could have in Switzerland. With […]
Rubberized Asphalt Mix Design
In work with Illinois Tollway contractors, Asphalt Plus participated in early balanced asphalt mix design efforts in Tollway main line SMA mix designs. Dry process rubber using ElastikoR ECR was used in SMA and dense-graded applications on I-355, I-88 and I-294, which include pavements with more than 30 Million ESAL traffic […]
What Is Rubberized Asphalt?
Rubberized asphalt is not new but just starting to resurface throughout the US. It is produced from grinding up whole scrap tires from automobiles. Elastiko is applied to the crumb rubber in order to improve the handling and workability characteristics of the mix. Also rubberized asphalt consumes an estimated 220,000,000 pounds […]
