Abstract
The use of crumb tire rubber as a binder modifier may contribute to improve the performance of road pavements, to conserve nonrenewable resources and to solve waste disposal problems. Following this approach, the objectives of the project are the development and optimization of rubber-modified bituminous binders as well as the development of mix concepts for rubber-modified asphalt for sustainable and durable pavements. In addition, possible applications of rubber-modified asphalts are pointed out and recommendations for their use in pavements in the state of Saxony in Germany are developed.
