Asphalt Rubber Conference 2009 - Nanjing, China

"This Conference, like previous AR Conferences, will mainly focus on all aspects of the design, life cycle cost, construction, research, maintenance, recycling, tire/pavement noise reduction and production of asphalt rubber as a binder or use in a hot mix. Particular emphasis and priority will be given to papers about asphalt rubber as defined by ASTM, i.e. at least 15 percent crumb rubber from recycled waste tires in the asphalt rubber binder. Papers on related research and/or use of other non-ASTM rubberized asphalt products with crumb rubber from recycled waste tires as the primary asphalt binder modifier may be included as the program permits and as they relate to AR, as defined by ASTM, relative performance. Papers about proprietary asphalt products will not be accepted." Please see their website for additional information regarding paper submission.
