EVALUATION OF USE OF MANUFACTURED WASTE ASPHALT SHINGLES IN HOT MIX ASPHALT

About 20,000 tons of manufactured waste asphalt shingles are being deposited in landfill every year in the state of Massachusetts. This has caused a shortage of landfill space and a significant increase in deposit fee. The report describes a laboratory study conducted to evaluate the use of these waste shingles in hot mix asphalt, especially because the shingles contain a significant amount of asphalt binder, and several studies have shown that use of shingles can result in savings and improve hot asphalt mix performance. Presented are the results of the tests, which indicate that mixes with small amounts of shingles have the potential of savings as well as good performance.
