Michigan Technological University researchers are helping study whether building roads using asphalt mixed with rubber from ground-up scrap tires is a good idea for states like Michigan.
Michigan Radio: A group of researchers at Michigan Technological University is conducting tests to find out if traditional asphalt mixed with rubber from scrap tires could make better roads in Michigan. Professor Zhanping You has been studying the technology of rubberized asphalt for eight years. He says rubber-added asphalt can make roads more durable and make life easier for drivers.
PaintSquare: Rubberized asphalt, made from thousands of ground-up scrap tires, has been a fixture of southern roads for 50 years. Such roads are quieter, last longer and provide a welcome non-landfill home for old tires, experts say. But can they hold up to the rigors of four seasons, including tough, long Michigan winters? Two new state-funded studies at Michigan Technological University aim to find out.
