Focusing on asphalt paving technology, this work emphasizes quality control and quality assurance programmes in producing high-quality pavements. It combines theory and practice of asphalt paving including developments and information from the recently completed Strategic Highway Research Program which was designed to improve asphalt specifications, mix design and analysis systems.

Disposal of waste tires has been known as a serious environmental problem. Since burying tires in landfills is not an easy solution either, highway engineers around the world have tried to incorporate scrap tire rubber in asphalt pavements as a modifier. This book investigate the use of Crumb Rubber Modifier (CRM) as a waste material in modifying the performance of the asphalt concrete mixtures. HMA mixtures characterization in terms of fatigue cracking and rutting resistance was analyzed and evaluated to determine the effects of the crumb rubber on the mixtures' performance. In addition, studying the effect of various environmental effects such as temperature, aging and moisture damage on the mechanical properties of the asphalt concrete mixtures. Several tests were used such as indirect tensile strength, indirect tensile fatigue and static creep test.

This synthesis on the use of recycled rubber tires in highways will be of interest to administrators and policy-makers; pavement, materials, geotechnical, environmental, and traffic operations engineers; and research engineers involved with highway design and construction issues. Information is provided on the uses of rubber tires in asphalt paving materials as well as other uses, such as on fills and embankments, for erosion control and on railroad grade crossings. Specifically, information is included which identifies the agencies using or implementing applications for recycled rubber tires and defines the design parameters, technical and construction limitations, performance, costs, benefits, environmental limitations, specifications, and availability. This synthesis of information defines the use of recycled rubber tires in highways and is based on a review of nearly 500 references and on information recorded from state highway agency responses to a 1991 survey of practice. Updates are included for as much of the state practice information possible through 1993. The use of scrap tires for highway applications is dynamic with regard to policy and technical issues. Therefore, the reader should keep in mind that the information presented reflects the best available data at a particular time. The synthesis also identifies current research in the topic area, critical research needs, and legislative issues that affect application and use of recycled rubber tires.

Section 1038 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) contains provisions for each State to begin incorporating scrap tire rubber into their asphalt paving materials. A workshop was developed through the cooperation of highway agencies and the asphalt industry to discuss present procedures and practices for designing and constructing asphalt pavements which incorporate scrap tire rubber (crumb rubber modifier). These workshop notes were prepared from the proceedings of the 13 workshop sessions.

Tire Waste and Recycling takes a methodical approach to the recycling of tires, providing a detailed understanding on how to manage, process, and turn waste tires into valuable materials and industrial applications. Sections cover fundamental aspects such as tire use, composition, trends, legislation, the current global situation, the possibilities for moving towards a circular economy, lifecycle options, treatment methods, and opportunities for re-use, recycling and recovery. Subsequent sections of the book focus on specific technologies that enable the utilization of waste tires in the development of high value materials and advanced applications. Finally, the future of tire recycling is considered. This is an essential resource for scientists, R&D professionals, engineers and manufacturers working in the tire, rubber, waste, recycling, automotive and aerospace industries. In academia, the book will be of interest to researchers and advanced scientists across rubber science, polymer science, materials engineering, environmental science, chemistry and chemical engineering. Offers systematic coverage of tire recycling, covering composition, lifecycle, processing options, material developments and latest technologies Explains end-of-life-options in detail, considering approaches and methods for reduction, re-use, recycling and recovery Explores key application and product areas for recycled tire materials, from civil engineering, sports and leisure, to roads and transport, construction, automotive, and many more
