Arts completes tire projects. (NonMetallics).


A goal of the Asphalt Rubber Technology Service (ARTS) at Clemson University Clemson University, at Clemson, S.C.; coeducational; land-grant; state supported; opened in 1893 as a college, gained university status in 1964. The university includes programs in textile and computer research, wildlife biology, and aquaculture and maintains , South Carolina South Carolina, state of the SE United States. It is bordered by North Carolina (N), the Atlantic Ocean (SE), and Georgia (SW). Facts and Figures


Area, 31,055 sq mi (80,432 sq km). Pop. (2000) 4,012,012, a 15.
, is to design several demonstration projects each year using recycled tire rubber.

ARTS completed three such projects in 2001 in upstate South Carolina. All three projects involved rubber modified hot mix asphalt (HMA (High Memory Area) In PCs, the first 64K of extended memory from 1024K to 1088K, which can be accessed by DOS. It is managed by the HIMEM.SYS driver. It was discovered by accident that this area could be used by DOS, even though it was beyond the traditional ). One project used rubber modified HMA in parking lots at several schools within the Pickens County Pickens County is the name of several counties in the United States of America:
  • Pickens County, Alabama
  • Pickens County, Georgia (Located in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area)
  • Pickens County, South Carolina
 School District, while the other two projects used rubber modified HMA in two different phases on a newly constructed road in Anderson County Anderson County is the name of five counties in the United States:
  • Anderson County, Kansas
  • Anderson County, Kentucky
  • Anderson County, South Carolina
  • Anderson County, Tennessee
  • Anderson County, Texas
.

ARTS designed the rubber modified HMA mixes for the projects. The mixes, which were specified as 9.5 mm Superpave mixes, used PG 64-22 binder modified with 10 percent tire rubber ground to minus #40 mesh. The design compaction level for the Anderson County projects was 100 gyrations, as comparred to 75 gyrations for the Pickens County project, because of expected high traffic.

With a few exceptions, plant production of these mixes proceeded as with conventional asphalt mixes. The Pickens County project and the first phase of the Anderson County project involved on-site blending of the asphalt rubber. The second phase of the Anderson County project used terminally blended asphalt rubber. The asphalt binder supplier blended the asphalt binder and the tire rubber and shipped it to the HMA contractor.

The rubber modified HMA was mixed at approximately 330- to 340-degrees, stored in silos and loaded into dump trucks for delivery. Production rates equaled as much as 1,500 tons per day. It was necessary to calibrate To adjust or bring into balance. Scanners, CRTs and similar peripherals may require periodic adjustment. Unlike digital devices, the electronic components within these analog devices may change from their original specification. See color calibration and tweak.  the plant's binder pump to accurately meter the highly viscous asphalt rubber.

A two-inch layer of the. mix was applied to the road using conventional paving methods and equipment.
