Full-Scale Road Experiments Using Rubberized Surfacing Materials
Following laboratory investigations into the properties of rubberized binders, a number of full-scale road experiments using rubberized surfacing materials were conducted during the last seventeen years. The results of these experiments are reviewed in this Report. The addition of rubber to mastic asphalt prevents or markedly reduces cracking occurring when a bituminous surfacing is laid over joints or cracks in a concrete pavement. The addition of 4 per cent of natural rubber to the binder of rolled asphalt considerably reduces the number and severity of cracks in this surfacing material when laid over joints and cracks in a concrete pavement. A limited full-scale experiment has suggested that the life of dense tar surfacing may be increased by the addition of rubber powder to the binder. A considerable reduction in the tendency of bitumen surface dressings to 'fat up' in hot weather under heavy traffic was shown when rubber has been blended with the binder. An increased initial holding power of the binders containing rubber was observed. (Author)
