Asphalt Rubber Related

Specifications
Arizona Department of
Transportation
Section 1009
Asphalt-Rubber Material
1009-2.01 Asphalt Rubber
 Asphalt cement shall be PG
– Type 1: PG 64-16 Desert
– Type 2: PG 58-22 Mid-zone
– Type 3: PG 52-28 Alpine
 Rubber
– Type A Spray Application
– Type B Hot Mix
1009-2.02 AR Proportions
 Minimum 20% ground rubber by weight of
the asphalt cement

 23.5% rubber means for every 100 lbs of


asphalt cement there is 23.5 lbs of rubber
(this is the same as 19% by weight of the
binder)
1009-3.01 Mixing of AR
 Asphalt Cement 350-400°F at time of addition
of ground rubber

 After mixing, maintain at 325-375°F for one


hour

 Before using, test viscosity with rotational


viscometer (furnished by contractor/supplier)
1009-3.02 Handling of AR
 Keep thoroughly agitated
 325-375°F during production of mix
 Maximum holding time 10 hours above
325°F
 Cooling and reheating allowed one time
 Maximum four days held above 250°F
1009-3.02 Handling of AR (cont)
 Required Documentation:
– Asphalt Cement source, grade, amount, and
temperature prior to addition of rubber
– Amount and source of added rubber
– Rubber content as percent by weight of asphalt
cement
– Time/date of rubber addition and viscosities
– Record of temperature changes
Section 414
Asphalt Rubber - Asphaltic Concrete
Friction Course
414-4 Mix Design

 Within 10 working days of receiving all


samples and the contractors letter at Central
Lab
414-5 Mix Design Revisions
 Changes in mineral aggregate, bituminous
materials, or proportions require approval
of the Engineer

 After development of acceptable mix


design, costs associated with development
of new design borne by the contractor
414-6.02 Mineral Aggregate
Acceptance
 Daily sample from each stockpile
 Gradation
 Composited material tested for
– sand equivalent
– fractured coarse aggregate particles

minimum of four time per shift
414-7.05 Mixing

 Discharge temperature shall not exceed


350° F
414-7.06 Placing and Finishing

adjust work hours depending on weather
forecast
414-7.08 Compaction
