FIFTEEN-YEAR PAVEMENT CONDITION HISTORY OF ASPHALT-RUBBER MEMBRANES IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA

Phoenix began its placement of asphalt rubber in 1967, and since that time has applied more than 600 lane miles (970 km). Based on this experience with asphalt rubber, it is believed that this material provides an economically competitive alternative to conventional asphalt pavement with superior engineering properties, such as a remarkable retention of viscosity. It has been used successfully to control volume changes in the subgrade due to moisture changes. The reduction of maintenance that results with the use of asphalt rubber is observed in the survey of streets and roads treated 15 years ago. The survey in this paper follows similar papers by the author in 1975, 1979, and 1981, and should provide insight into the type of performance that might be expected from asphalt rubber under various conditions of usage.
