摘要
In the USA, asphalt tear-off roofing shingle is one of the largest productions in the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. Applications into road construction materials can be an alternative to recycle these tear-off shingles. This paper discusses the beneficial use of tear-off shingles in Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) by presenting: (1) the physical properties of tear-off shingles and the extracted binder, (2) the mechanical behaviors and properties of shingle-mixed HMA, (3) an optimum mix design for the shingle used in HMAs. The tear-off shingles obtained from the states of Florida and Minnesota (but main study on the Florida%26apos;s shingles) were used for the sample preparation that involves varied amount of shingle addition (ranged from 0% to 6% with 1% increment) for three different virgin binder contents. Laboratory testing methods include a reflux extraction and recovery and penetration tests for the extracted binder and a modified Marshall stability, moisture susceptibility, and asphalt pavement analyzer (APA) tests for the mixtures. The shingle addition causes stiffer binder in the mixture; resulting in the increase of material stiffness, stability, and rutting resistance. A visual inspection of the fractured surface of samples was also conducted to investigate the location of the crack surface either through the aggregates or in the asphalt binder, which is a good indicator of sufficient level of asphalt film in the mixture. Testing results were used to identify the optimum mixing proportion of the tear-off shingle and asphalt binder in HMAs.
