Shingles Recycling A presentation by Dan Krivit at the 49 th Annual Wisconsin Asphalt Paving Conference In Waukesha, Wisconsin Wednesday, November 15, 2006
2
Definitions Manufacturers’ Asphalt Shingle Scrap Tear-Off Asphalt Shingle Scrap Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) (Crushed & screened)
3
History 15 years + Multiple research studies in lab and field Manufacturer shingle scrap in hot-mix asphalt best known, most accepted practice Still relatively new application
4
Key Barriers Lack of clear industry standards and specifications Inconsistent state regulations Lack of adequate information / technology transfer Lack of national leadership by private industry and government
6
Composition of Residential Asphalt Shingles
7
Recent Composition: Weight Ranges of Typical Asphalt Shingles 32 to 42% Coating filler (limestone or fly ash) 28 to 42% Granules (painted rocks & coal slag) 16 to 25% Asphalt 3 to 6% Back dust (limestone or silica sand) 2 to 15% Mat (fiberglass, paper, cotton rags) 0.2 to 2% Adhesives (modified asphalt based)
8
Multiple Applications Hot mix asphalt (HMA) Aggregate / gravel Dust control Cold patch Ground cover Fuel New shingles
9
Factors Affecting HMA Performance Aggregate gradation of RAS Properties of final blended binder content within the HMA as affected by: –RAS asphalt binder –Virgin binder
10
Factors Affecting HMA Performance (continued) Location RAS is incorporated into HMA drum Temperature Moisture content of RAS and other aggregates Retention time in HMA drum
11
Potential Benefits Rutting resistance (especially at warmer temperatures) Conservation of landfill space Economic savings to HMA producer due to reduced need for virgin asphalt binder (add oil)
12
Potential Disadvantages Contamination (tear-offs) Added costs of processing and use in HMA Increased low-temperature / fatigue cracking
13
Performance Grading (PG)
14
Asphalt Grades PG 64-22 (“PG sixty-four minus twenty-two”) High temperature for rut resistance 64°C (147°F) Low temperature for fatigue and cold weather performance (e.g., cracking) -22°C (-8°F)
15
Mitigating Low Temperature Impacts of RAS Use less RAS instead of 5% (e.g., use 2% to 3%) Adjust the virgin binder PG to one grade softer (e.g., PG 52-34)
16
Deleterious Material Nails Other metal Wood Cellophane Other plastic Paper Fiber board

24
Strength (MO: PG 58-28) Marasteanu, July 2006
25
Conclusions: Stiffness (MO: At temperatures below -10°C ) PG -22 mixture: addition of shingles increases the mixture stiffness considerably (a) PG -28 mixture: stiffness difference lessened (b) Marasteanu, July 2006
26
Conclusions: Strength (MO: At temperatures below -10°C ) No significant affects due to shingles for either PG -22 or PG -28 mixtures Marasteanu, July 2006
27
Minnesota HMA Samples Three types of recycled materials –20% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), –15% RAP + 5% Tear-off recycled asphalt shingles (RAS), –15% RAP + 5% Manufactured RAS. Only one virgin asphalt binder: PG 58-28 Marasteanu, July 2006

32
Creep Stiffness (MO vs. MN) (@ 500 seconds) Marasteanu, July 2006
33
Conclusions: Stiffness (MN) Adding tear-offs significantly increases stiffness of the mixtures at all test temperatures (a) Adding manufactured increases stiffness only at 0°C and -10°C (b) Marasteanu, July 2006
34
Conclusions: Strength (MN) No significant affects due to either tear-off or manufacturers’ shingles scrap Marasteanu, July 2006
35
Conclusions: Stiffness (MO vs. MN) Lower stiffness values for the Minnesota RAP mixtures compared to Missouri mixtures Lower stiffness values for the MN combinations of RAP + RAS compared to MO mixtures (a) Marasteanu, July 2006
36
Minnesota Extracted Binder Samples Marasteanu, July 2006 Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) (a) Direct Tension Tests (DTT) (b)
37
BBR ( MN) Marasteanu, July 2006
38
BBR Conclusions (continued) Marasteanu, July 2006 Addition of shingles changes the properties (a) The two types of shingles perform differently –The manufactured material seems to be beneficial (b) –The tear-off material affects properties in a negative way (although it also decreases BBR stiffness) (c)
39
BBR Conclusions (continued) m-value not fully understood (a) The limited data also shows that binder and mixture results do not always agree (b) Need further research (c) Marasteanu, July 2006

AC Impact in Final Mix (at 5% RAS) RAS binder addition: –Manufacturers’ adds 1.0% binder –Tear-offs adds 1.8% McGraw, July 2006
44
Final Hot Mix Low Temperature PG (a) Tear-off -28.8 (b) Manufacturers’ -26.2 (c) RAP -29.2 (d) McGraw, July 2006
45
Conclusions More mixture testing (a) Experimental design needs true control Shingle only study (b) Field reviews of past projects (c) Re-evaluate current Mn/DOT spec (d) McGraw, July 2006

AASHTO Specification (continued) Deleterious material maximum limits (Section 8): (material retained on the No. 4 sieve) –Heavy fraction = 0.50% –Lightweight fraction = 0.05%
50
Missouri Shingle Spec Extrinsic Material Allowance Raised –3.0% Total –1.5% Wood
51
AASHTO Specification (continued) Asbestos levels: “…shall be certified to be asbestos free.” (Section 5.2) “(Tear-off shingles are) construction debris and various state and local regulations may be applicable to its use. The user of this specification is advised to contact state and local transportation departments and environmental agencies to determine what additional requirements may be necessary.” (Note 2)
52
Asbestos Risk Incidence of asbestos is extremely low Average content was only: – 0.02% in 1963 –0.00016% in 1973 NAHB, 1999
