It is estimated that about ten kilograms of tires are discarded per inhabitant annually. The negative impact of this residue can be reduced, since rubber can be reused as a constituent of asphalt rubber (AR) binder in road pavements. However, the materials which constitute the AR binders and their interaction are not sufficiently characterized. In this work several base bitumens interacted with crumb rubber, in order to produce AR binders, which were subsequently separated, by using a modified “Basket drainage method” to recover the residual bitumen and rubber. EN 12591 or 14023 standards tests and the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) were used to evaluate the changes in the properties of the binders during AR production. The swelling and depolymerisation changes in the rubber were evaluated through microscopic tests. It was observed that the characteristics of the base bitumen significantly affect the rubber and the AR binder properties (mainly for interactions with softer bitumens).
