EVALUATION OF RUBBER-MODIFIED ASPHALT PERFORMANCE--MT. ST. HELENS PROJECT (WITH DISCUSSION)

A coarse rubber-modified asphalt pavement overlay was constructed in August 1983 in Washington State as part of the Volcanic Activity Disaster Relief (VADR) projects 2500E, 9300, and 9039. The project, constructed in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, consists of 1.11 mi (1.79 km) of continuous test sections of various thicknesses. The objective of this paper was to document the monitoring and evaluation of these test sections. Monitoring and evaluation were performed both in the field and laboratory using a variety of testing techniques. The results of this testing as well as conclusions based on preliminary evaluation are presented.
