Webinar Recap: Rubberized Asphalt Performance Around the World
The first installment of our Back to Black webinar series, Not Lost in Translation, brought together two distinguished experts from opposite sides of the Atlantic to discuss the latest advancements in rubberized asphalt performance.
Henrique Borges Miranda, Ph.D., a pavement engineer and assistant professor at Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa, shared insights from his groundbreaking work in Portugal, including research on incorporating crumb rubber tire waste into asphalt mixtures. Attendees were treated to an engaging presentation featuring a comparative analysis of dry and wet processing methods, as well as real-world case studies and a fascinating video demonstration of elastic recovery testing from Brisa laboratories in Portugal.
Joining Henrique was Robert Lee, P.E., Regional QC Director for Texas Materials. With nearly four decades of experience, Robert offered a U.S. perspective on sustainability in the asphalt industry. In a dynamic discussion with host Al Palmer, he highlighted innovative projects throughout Texas utilizing specialty mixes and shared how his team leverages Polyco’s SigmaBond to enhance asphalt performance.
