Abstract
A full-scale test section with asphalt rubber gap-graded wearing course mixture was designed and constructed on a major infrastructure as part of a regional research and implementation project. Standard and performance-related laboratory tests were carried out in order to select constituent materials, define the job-mix formula and monitor construction operations. Gaseous emissions of the bituminous mixture sampled during laying were analyzed to assess the potential risks to which labourers are exposed during paving. Environmental compatibility was also evaluated by performing laboratory leaching tests. Based on the results obtained in the investigation, technical guidelines were validated and enhanced.
