RECYCLED BRAKE LININGS AS PARTIAL AGGREGATE SUBSTITUTE IN ASPHALT PAVING

The purpose of this project was to evaluate the performance of asphalt containing various percentages of brake lining as an aggregate, and compare its performance to that of normal asphalt containing natural aggregate. This project is an effort to explore alternate ways to use waste product. Four test sections of FB-2 modified mix containing brake lining material were placed in July of 1992 along with one control section on SR 3022 in Mercer County. To date all sections are performing satisfactorily, and brake linings should be recommended as a viable partial replacement of aggregate in bituminous materials. This study only considered the performance of off-spec brake linings, therefore any performance data or environmental effects of placement of used brake material should be addressed.
