Five Ways to Save Your Asphalt
• Up the RAP
• Rock the Asphalt
• Thinner Overlays
• The Right Asphalt for the Right Occasion
• Raise the Roof with Shingles
• Perpetuate Asphalt Pavements
![Page 6: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Up the RAP
• Reuse what you have.
• Characterize it like it was any other component of your product.
• Process it properly.
• Advantages– Economics– Environment– Performance
![Page 7: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RAP Guides
![Page 8: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
RAP Example
• Virgin mix requires 5.5% AC
• RAP has 4.0% AC
• Use 30% RAP – Reduce virgin AC 1.2%
• RAP Processing - $6.00/ton
• AC price $650/ton – Aggr. price $10/ton
• On 1 ton HMA reduce AC by 0.012 tons
• Reduce aggregate by 0.28 tons
• SAVE $8.80/ton!

AASHTO Survey of States
• Objectives– Find extent
of RAP usage
– Find the roadblocks to usage

The Survey Says. . .
• We can do more recycling under the existing specs. Need to consider how it’s handled.
• Need to consider availability.• Not much consistency between states on
what’s allowed.• We need to work with agencies to get RAP
percentages increased, especially in surface mixes.
![Page 14: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is limiting RAP?
• Specification limits Superpave
• Specification limits surface
• Lack of knowledge by specifiers
• Specification limits PMA
• Binder Issues
![Page 15: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rock the Asphalt!
• Use Large Stone Mixes where possible.
• Larger aggregate mixes need less asphalt to provide the same coating.
• Applications– Heavy duty
pavements– Base mixes
![Page 16: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Large Stone Example
• Compare 1-3/4” mix to 5/8” mix
• LSM uses 1.7% less asphalt
• Save 0.017 tons AC per ton HMA
• Save $11.05 per ton HMA!
![Page 19: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Issues with LSM
• Segregation
• Equipment wear
• Sampling
• Permeability
• Noise
![Page 20: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Thinner Overlays
• If overlay placed to correct functional deficiency (smoothness) rather than structural, consider a thinner overlay.
• Lift thickness related to aggregate size.
• Fine aggregate mixes do not rut more than coarse aggregate mixes. – NCHRP Report 539
![Page 21: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Thin Overlay Example
• Say NMAS/lift is 4• For 12.5 mm mix ~ 50 mm
– AC content 6.0%– 217 lbs/sy = $8.14/sy @ $75/ton
• For 9.5 mm mix ~ 37.5 mm– AC content 6.5%– 163 lbs/sy = $6.93/sy @ $85/ton
• Thinner overlay = 18% less asphalt• Thinner overlay = $1.21/sy less
![Page 22: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
When not to use Thin Overlays
• When large NMAS is specified.
• When structural improvement is needed.
![Page 23: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Don’t Be Gauche – Use the Right Asphalt
• Polymer modified asphalt has many uses:– Reduce rutting– Reduce thermal cracking– Reduce fatigue cracking– Improve overall durability
• Can also be misused:– Low volume roads– Overlays of cracked pavements– Base layers
![Page 24: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PMA Economics
• Can be $60 to $80/ton higher than unmodified asphalt
• Can raise HMA price by $4.80/ton
![Page 25: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Raise the Roof with Shingles
• Roofing shingles comprised of:– Polymer modified asphalt– Fiberglass or felt fibers– Grit – angular fine
aggregate– Mineral filler
![Page 26: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example
• Roofing shingles contain ~ 20% asphalt
• Use 5% shingles in HMA, reduce 1% asphalt
• Reduce 0.01 ton AC/ton HMA
• Reduce cost by $6.50/ton HMA
![Page 27: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Issues with Shingles
• Tear-off shingles require more processing than manufacturing waste.
• Be careful using tear-offs and RAP in same mix. Make sure there is enough virgin asphalt.
• Sizing of shingle particles is important – should be minus ½ inch.
![Page 28: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Summary
• Possible to save both asphalt and aggregate.
• Need to apply proper solutions.
• Need to apply engineering principles.
• DON’T SACRIFICE QUALITY!
![Page 37: Saving Your Asphalt! 36 th Annual Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show February 18-20, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649dc55503460f94ab8a20/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Other Ideas
• Get Pavement considered as part of solution to road noise – Lower Noise Barriers by 3 ft!
• Use Rubblization with Overlay rather than Remove and Replace PCC – Save 60 to 70% of Total Cost!
