Özet

The Taguchi method was used to determine optimum conditions for tire rubber in asphalt concrete with Marshall Test. The tire rubber in asphalt concrete was explored under different experimental parameters including tire rubber gradation (sieve #10-40), mixing temperature (155-175 degrees C), aggregate gradation (grad. 1-3), tire rubber ratio (0-10% by weight of asphalt), binder ratio (4-7% by weight of asphalt), compaction temperature (110-135 degrees C), and mixing time (5-30 min). The optimum conditions were obtained for tire rubber gradation (sieve #40), mixing temperature (155 degrees C), aggregate gradation (grad. 1), tire rubber ratio (10%), binder ratio (5.5%), compaction temperature (135 degrees C), mixing time (15min).
