OBJECTIVES

The LIFE NEREiDE project wants to demonstrate the use of new porous asphalt pavements and low noise surfaces composed by recycled asphalt pavements and crumb rubber from scrap tires.

These materials will be mixed with binders at warm temperatures to produce warm mixture asphalt pavements with specific benefits.

Actions 

The main idea of the Project is to use the crumb rubber from scrap tires for its properties and recycled asphalt pavements as “end of life” materials to substitute virgin aggregates and part of the virgin bitumen. The project will undertake a characterization and qualification of raw materials, and it will find the most suitable manufacturing processes of crumb rubber in order to make it suitable for incorporation in the bitumen.
