Recommendations and Comments

KYTC D11	86 David Hacker Agency	Y Approve	Elastiko shall provide a quality control plan on how they determine the AC content during production of the mixture and provide a representative during production. Calibrate and verify equipment for the Elastiko product. Should not allow the binder grade to be bumped to be able to evaluate and compare to our current PG grade usage. Require CT and Hamburg testing and place one direction with Elastiko and the other direction typical mix. This will allow for evaluating how it performs to the Department conventional mix. Evaluate for a period of years before wide spread usage of the product.	Determining AC content is achieved by contractor per normal means, including reviewing of records and running combustion oven on a sample of mix. Rubber will combust similarly to AC,but will leave behind 6-7% ash content. It must be noted that since rubber and binder will both combust, the correction factor will be higher than compared to mixes without rubber. The ECR feed unit will be electronically tied into the binder pump system at the asphalt plant, as the amount of ECR used is a function of AC %. This will allow any adjustments to be made automatically by the system, based on the amount of binder used. All projects that we have been involved with measure PG grade for comparison on mixes that grade out similarly. I'd like to better understand why we wouldn't want to test the grade of binder when modified with ECR. The above data was submitted by a colleague who, sadly passed away. We've got lots more data from other projects to share, but I can't figure out how to remove some of the old attachments that Doug Zuberer provided??	Feb 25, 2019	2307
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet/Division of Materials	718 Robert Semones Agency	Y Approve	Approved to be used on a non state route for experimental use. An evaluation process of one year should be established before using on a low volume state route. By RTS 2/22/2019.	Looks like info was submitted 3 years ago to this site. Since then, we've had lots more data from projects in various states that I think will be very helpful in KYTC becoming more familiar with its. I have updated data from VDOT, MODOT, TXDOT and others that I think you will find useful. However, there is a limit of 6 documents that can be submitted and I'm not sure how to remove the ones Doug Zuberer sent so that I can add more recent data. How best do I go about doing that?
