>Asphalt Rubber, the modification of asphalt bitumen with crumb rubber from
>recycled tires, is rapidly gaining worldwide popularity as an excellent
>product for road rehabilitation projects.
>
>Beyond the clear advantage of eliminating a difficult waste product, it has
>been demonstrated through 30 years of proven performance that the proper use
>of Asphalt Rubber products can be extremely cost effective. Specifically,
>products derived through the "wet process", or partial digestion of the crumb
>rubber particles in preheated liquid asphalt bitumen, has been shown to be
>most successful.
>
>The first International Conference exclusively dedicated to Asphalt Rubber
>will be held in the City of Vilamoura, situated on the South Coast of
>Portugal, from the 14th through the 17th of November 2000.
>
>Papers being presented at Asphalt Rubber 2000 will cover the following topic
>areas:
>
>· Asphalt Rubber Fabrication
>· Asphalt Rubber Performance and Comparison with Conventional Products
>· Asphalt Rubber Binder and Mix Design
>· Asphalt Rubber Binder and Mix Specifications
>· Asphalt Rubber Functional Characteristics (Skid and Noise)
>· Asphalt Rubber Chemical Characteristics
>· Asphalt Rubber Structural Pavement Design
>· Asphalt Rubber Life Cycle Cost and Performance
>
>Site visits are planned, including guided tours to a crumb rubber production
>plant, existing projects and jobs under construction.
>
>The Conference will be of special interest to pavement engineers,
>researchers, contractors, consultants, managers, and designers of road
>infrastructures, and to tire recyclers, using new and recycled materials.
>
>Further details on Asphalt Rubber 2000, organized by CONSULPAV, RECIPAV and
>RECIPNEU, and sponsored in part by the Rubber Pavements Association and the
>European Tire Recycling Association, can be obtained either by e-mail to:
>[log in to unmask] or through the following web site:
>www.Consulpav.Com/AR2000.
>
>
>Abstracts are still being accepted.
>Papers will be submited for peer review to the International Journal of Road
>Materials and Pavement Design
