Marshall Properties Of Asphaltic Concrete Containing Glass-Rich Fractions, James Joseph Schneider Jan 1973

Marshall Properties Of Asphaltic Concrete Containing Glass-Rich Fractions, James Joseph Schneider

Masters Theses

"The use of crushed waste glass as an aggregate in asphaltic concrete has been suggested as a means for re-using glass separated from municipal refuse. Laboratory studies and field installations have generally utilized clean glass obtained by hand sorting bottles from the other refuse and crushing them to produce a desired gradation. For this type of asphalt to be economical though, the glass fraction must be separated mechanically. For mechanically separated materials, the glass-rich fraction also contains such items as metal, bone, rubber and other non-glass materials.

The objective of the study was to determine the effects upon Marshall properties …
