| Abstract | The use of crumb rubber modifiers (CRMs) in asphalt mixtures plays a significant role in creating a sustainable circular economy. This study aims to evaluate the field performance of CRM asphalt sections with service years greater than eight. Five field projects were evaluated. Each project had one or two CRM sections constructed alongside a companion control section. Five types of CRM products were considered. A 16-mesh proprietary CRM, a Rouse-80 powder (R-80), and a Neste Wright powder were used in the wet blending process. Further, a 16-mesh generic crumb rubber, a PlusRideTM shredded rubber, and R-80 were used in a dry blend. Field performance data, including rutting, roughness, and cracking, were collected and analyzed. Moreover, economic analysis was performed to ascertain the cost-effectiveness (CE) of constructing CRM sections. Furthermore, laboratory performance indicators measured during construction were analyzed to ascertain their ability to rank field performance. Generally, CRM sections exhibited significantly similar or better ride quality, cracking and rutting resistance, and pavement condition index than their corresponding control sections. In some cases, the styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer modifier showed better cracking resistance in the control sections than the CRMs. CRM asphalt sections generally exhibited higher CE than their corresponding control sections because of their high initial unit costs. The Rouse wet CRM asphalt section in field project 4, which had a relatively lower unit cost, was found to be cost-effective compared to its corresponding control section. The limited laboratory mechanical performance parameters considered were ineffective in consistently ranking field performance indicators. |
