During the past decade, there have been several advancements"in the road maintenance field - particularly in the surface treatment area. The most successful of these treatments is relative to the addition of ground up rubber to the conventional asphalt mix. This process not only has proven successful but has the added benefit of using discarded rubber vehicle tires - an important environmental consideration these days. The following information and attachments are furnished for your consideration concerning pavement treatments utilizing recyclable materials.

Arczynski Linda Magnuson City Manager City Attorney Sr. Accountant City Council - July 17, 1990 Page 2 Use of Recycled Materials for Roadway Maintenance RECYCLING EXISTING ASPHALT PAVEMENT There are basically two processes that utilize the existing asphalt pavement as the new paving course; they are the cold recycling method and the hot recycling method (commonly called heater planer re -mix). The basic difference, of course, is the introduction of heat in the heater planer re -mix method which warms and helps soften the old pulverized asphalt to blend with the added recycling agent and the resulting mixture is then placed as the pavement course. The State of California (Cal -Trans) has had experience with both of these processes and appeared to achieve the best results with the heater planer re -mix method. ASPHALT -RUBBER There are several processes for pavement surface treatment that utilize ground -up rubber in the asphalt. During the last decade, there have been a number of rubberized -asphalt projects around the country that proved successful. Many of these projects were constructed on roads where reconstruction was considered initially and therefore a sizable dollar savings was realized. When compared to conventional surface treatments the asphalt -rubber processes are generally more expensive - up to two times as much depending on the condition of the existing roadway. As previously noted, there are several processes utilizing ground -up rubber and the particular process used is of course, dependent on the extent of deterioration of the existing pavement. The processes generally involve using the asphalt -rubber in a hot -liquid form covered with: 1) a pea gravel size aggregate; 2) a slurry seal mixture; 3) a conventional asphaltic concrete overlay; 4) a rubberized - asphalt hot mix overlay. All of these processes have been successful in retarding cracking from projecting into the new pavement surface and adding flexibility, durability and skid resistance qualities to the road. Details as to the exact make-up and application of these processes are contained in the attached publications. City Council - July 17, 1990 Page 3 Use of Recycled Materials for Roadway Maintenance ASPHALT WITH GLASS AS ADDITIVE Approximately 10 years ago, the American Asphalt Institute experimented with an asphaltic concrete mix in which ground glass was added. The addition of the glass, in theory, was to supplement the durability of the asphalt along with the added benefit of providing a use for a material that is normally discarded after its initial use. We are informed that a street in the City of Azusa area, Miller Road, was resurfaced with an asphalt - glass mixture about 10 years ago. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Materials Engineering Laboratory, the project was monitored for a period of time and displayed a ravelling condition throughout that period. The conclusion was reached that the ravelling was caused by the inability of the asphalt to bond with the glass. No interest is being shown in the process at this time. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that pavement surface treatments utilizing recyclable materials be considered as viable alternatives to conventional processes in upcoming projects in the City. As an example, Golden Springs Drive from Brea Canyon Road to Grand Avenue together with Colima Road from Brea Canyon Road to the westerly City boundary is in need of refurbishing with some areas of the roadway appearing on the verge of requiring reconstruction. An investigation into the use of the aforementioned processes, specifically asphalt -rubber may well prove to be a cost effective method for the re -vitalization of this important roadway when compared to the cost of reconstructing the entire road. Also, this would be the first step toward developing a City policy regarding the use of recycled materials for future roadway maintenance projects.

The Transportation Laboratory (Translab) has been evaluating various asphalt -rubber applications since 1978. These applications include SAMs (stress absorbing membranes), SAMIs (stress absorbing membrane inter - layers) and ARC (asphalt -rubber con- crete, where asphalt -rubber is used as the binder in hot -mixed dense graded asphalt concrete). Translab also has been evaluating other modified asphalt concrete (AC) mixes such as PlusRide, which is crumb rubber added as an aggregate in DGAC and the addition of polyester and polypropylene fibers to DGAC. The section of the interstate tested was between Colfax and Monte Vista, Mr. France is assistant director of the Asphalt Rubber Producers Group. Ed- ited by Sandra Patyk. ARC is placed with conventional paver Steel -wheeled rollers compact asphalt rubber concrete on California 1-80 in snow country. Average monthly tem- perature at this location is 65° F with extremes as high as 95° and as low as 4°. Average daily traffic is 22,000,15% trucks. During winter, tire chains are often required. Translab selected this location be- cause conventional (AC) overlays were not providing the desired service life under these conditions in many cases. Also, this location will provide a severe test for rubber modified AC mixes. Both the ARC and PlusRide overlays sections were placed in 2'/a -in. and S- in. thicknesses. The original eight -in. Portland Ce- ment Concrete (PCC) pavement was built in the early 60s, and has served well for more than two decades, but needed to be rehabilitated. Caltrans has been looking for a modified asphalt concrete mix that can be placed in thin overlays and provide a cost effective service life. These rubber modified AC mixes are proving to be one of the best rehabilitation strategies, when com- pared to other modified AC mixes. Ongoing research is intended to an- swer questions about proper thickness and how much structural credit is added. On the I-80 project, a conventional AC (5.4% asphalt by dry weight of aggregate) was placed on the median and shoulders. ARC (6.5% binder by dry weight of aggregate) and PlusRide (7.3% asphalt by total weight) were placed on the travel lanes. ARC binder was a mixture of pre - reacted paving grade asphalt cement and granulated reclaimed vulcanized rubber. This rubber came primarily from the processing of scrap automo- bile and truck tires produced by the ambient temperature grinding process. Mixing equipment used to blend the asphalt rubber consisted of an asphalt cement heating tank connected to an asphalt rubber blender. Ground tire rubber was removed from 60-1b bags, fed into a hopper and carried up by a screw auger into the blending machine. There it was mixed with asphalt ce- ment between 325° to 375° F for about 45 min, until the two had reacted. The asphalt rubber was transferred to a nurse truck (modified distributor), driven to the mixing plant and trans - erred to another distributor. This unit fed the hot -mix plant through a device capable of adding the binder by vol- ume to the aggregate at the percentage specified by the job -mix formula. The ARC was then trucked to the laydown machine at the job site. In the PlusRide process reclaimed vulcanized crumb rubber, also from waste tires, was added as a substitute for a portion of the aggregate. The rubber particle size was considerably coarser than that used in the reacted asphalt process. The aggregate was gap -graded to accommodate the rubber as a part of the total gradation. The ground rubber represented 3% of the total mix weight. For the PlusRide mixing pro- cedure, rubber was added after the aggregate was heated and before the asphalt cement was introduced. Following placement of each modi- fied AC mix, steel -wheeled rollers were used for compaction. Reclaimed rubber was supplied by Atlos Rubber, Inc., of Los Angeles. Tiechert Construction of Sacramento was the prime contractor. The Asphalt Rubber Producers Group (ARPG) believes Caltrans is a national leader not only in research and development of asphalt -rubber surface treatments, but also ARC. Its research staff is evaluating the effec- tiveness of these products in the reha- bilitation of California pavements. Bobby Page, P.E., Translab Sacra- mento, said they placed a test section near Donner Summit on I-80 seven years ago. "There's a lot of (tire) chains in use up there in the winter and it has held up well," Page said. "It has outper- formed conventional mix." Page said since "asphalt rubber is more expensive, we feel we have to justify the additional expense by a longer life, or a reduced layer thick- ness. We're still waiting and watching." Jack L. Van Kirk, P.E., Translab Sacramento, said he thinks asphalt rubber as a binder in hot -mix probably is the best rubber mix they have. "We have a project on California Route 395 near Ravendale which was placed in 1983. It has been providing phenome- na] performance to date," Van Kirk sa' We designed those sections to fail ;drly, but they haven't failed and are showing very little distress." The 10 -mi -long research project near Ravendale (about 100 mi north of Reno, Nev.) was divided into 13 segments consisting of the following: • asphalt rubber SAMI overlayed with three in. of asphalt rubber concrete, • asphalt rubber SAMI ovelayed with 1.8 in. ARC, • 1.8 in. ARC, • 1.8 in. PlusRide overlay, no SAMI, • SAMI with 1.8 in. PlusRide overlay, • SAMI with 3 in. PlusRide overlay, • control section 1.8 in. AC, • control section 3.6 in. AC, • control section 2.4 in. AC, • control section 6 in. AC, • double asphalt rubber SAM (high natural rubber content), • double asphalt rubber (low natu- ral rubber content), and • single asphalt rubber SAM. Robert N. Doty, RE., Translab Sac- ramento, wrote a technical paper on the Ravendale project, presented at the January 1988 meeting of the Trans- portation Research Board, 'Washing- ton, D.C. His paper states that, to date, all the asphalt rubber combina- tions are performing equal to or better than equivalent or greater thicknesses of conventional DGAC used on the project. The paper reports surface abrasion test results that indicate ARC and PlusRide are more resistant to surface abrasion than the conventional DGAC. These test sections still are being evaluated and final conclusions on these rubber mixes will be contin- gent on the performance of the various segments during the next few years. Doty said Caltrans is evaluating rubber modified mixes only for areas where conventional AC will not pro- vide a satisfactory service life. Other test projects using ARC placed by Caltrans include I-80 near Colfax, Donner Summit and Boca; I- 40 near Needles; Highway 50 near Myers and Strawberry; and open graded mixes on Route 101 and I-80 near San Francisco.❑ Reprinted from March 1989 ROADS & BRIDGES Magazine SPRING 1990 THE MANHOLEMESSENGER 3 Route 89, August 1988 Route 89, 1 year later Condition before Asphalt -Rubber surfacing Asphalt -Rubber condition after one full winter season inhere All Else Failed Limited to the use of chip seals by Preventative Maintenance BCP Money, Caltrans District 3, located in the northern "high country," faced a serious dilemma. Seal coats such as sand, slurry, latex and/or polymer modified slurry and conventional chip seals had failed to withstand the winter snowplowing and tire chain abuse typical in higher elevation roadways. Some of the seals, used successfully in elevations under 2,000 feet, stripped off, rutted or slicked out in three months or less. Faced with repeated failures, Caltrans Maintenance Engineers began looking for new alternatives for their pavement problems. Contact was made with Manhole Ad- justing Inc. and others in the Asphalt -Rubber industry and the use of an Asphalt -Rubber and Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) with hot, precoated aggregate was recommend- ed. A thirteen (13) mile stretch of Route 89, starting three (3) miles south of Sierraville and running to Truckee, was selected as the most "needy" and the job was put out to bid. Manhole Adjusting Inc., the only California-based producer and applicator of Asphalt -Rubber systems, suc- cessfully bid and performed a "turnkey" operation for the 13 -mile stretch. Manhole controlled and executed all phases of the Asphalt -Rubber process, from traffic control to the final sweeping. The job was completed on September 16, 1988. In a preliminary report (03-NEV SIE -89) prepared in February of 1989, Joe Cena, a Caltrans District 3 Maintenance Engineer, made the following observations: "After four months during storm conditions, there is no evidence of any sections where the seal coat has scored or plowed off." "No rutting is evident from chain wear." "Cracks which were sealed previous to the SAM have 'masked' through the surface but no obvious break is evi- dent in the pavement." "General appearance of the project is excellent." In an interview conducted on February 7, 1990, Mr. Cena said, "The Route 89 SAM is the best chip seal we've had. " He also praised the quality of Manhole Adjusting's outstanding "turnkey" application techniques which in addition to the performance of the Asphalt -Rubber have resulted in a very successful project. �E ASPHALT- RUBBER S� S% DEFINITIONS The Product ASPHALT -RUBBER: A blend of 75 - 80 % paving grade asphalt and extender oils with 20 - 2 5 % ground recycled tire rubber reacted under a time/ temperature formula. Used as membrane or binder. Origin: Asphalt -Rubber, as described above, is a material developed in the 1960s by Charles H. McDonald, then Engineering Supervisor for the City of Phoenix, Arizona. McDonald, a district field man with the Federal Bureau of Highways in the '30s, had used an elastomeric sealant and cinders as a flexible patch for the leaky roof of his homemade travel trailer. Years later he recalled the flexible patch as he looked for a waterproof pothole repair material for the Phoenix streets, thus his experimentation with asphalt and rubber began. McDonald turned to scrap tires as a rubber source for economical as well as environmental reasons. The Applications (Systems) ASPHALT -RUBBER AND AGGREGATE MEMBRANE (ARAM): A spray application, usually .55 to .70 gallons per square yard, of hot reacted Asphalt -Rubber, followed by a hot, precoated aggregate at a rate of 30 to 40 lbs. per square yard. Used as waterproofing, flexible, skid -resistant surface treatment, as an interlayer or finished surfacing. STRESS ABSORBING MEMBRANE (SAM): Original terminology for Asphalt -Rubber and Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) as described above. Still used in the industry and may be found in some specifications. STRESS ABSORBING MEMBRANE INTERLAYER (SAMI): Original terminology for Asphalt -Rubber and Ag- gregate Membrane Interlayer. Same application process and per square yard ratios as the ARAM, covered with Asphalt Concrete or Asphalt -Rubber Hot Mix overlay. Used to waterproof the base and extend the lifespan of thin overlays on asphalt or concrete pavements. ASPHALT -RUBBER CAPE SEAL: An Asphalt -Rubber and Aggregate Membrane (ARAM) surfacing treated with a Type II Slurry. Used in areas, primarily residential, where a smoother surface than ARAM is desired. Also has less potential for loose rock. Origin: The term "CAPE SEAL" comes from a method of road surface binding developed and tested by the Cape Provincial Administration of South Africa. The Cape Province Road Department experimented with different types of conventional seals and mixtures in search of a durable, low maintenance surface treatment. Various forms of mixtures evolved over the years and the successful process (Asphalt -Rubber Aggregate Membrane and Type II Slurry) is referred to as the "CAPE SEAL." ASPHALT -RUBBER HOT MIX (ARHM): A combination of mixed aggregate gradation and reacted Asphalt - Rubber Binder blended in a hot plant and applied with conventional paving equipment. Used to provide a more durable, flexible, age and crack -resistant surface. • Two -Layer System: Asphalt -Rubber Hot Mix (ARHM) placed over an ARAM Interlayer. * Three -Layer System: A conventional dense graded leveling course, an ARAM Interlayer and an ARHM surface course. * The systems described above have been used in many California cities as an alternative to total reconstruction at a 50% or better cost saving.
