    Company Green Road
    (2020-07-29) Groisman, Enzo Hernán
    I am the chief of my company, Green Road, which is focused on recycling car tires and marine plastics, transforming those materials into eco-friendly asphalt and offering solutions using them to solve problems related with roads. The headquarters of Green Road are located in Villaguay, a city which is also in Entre Rios, thirty kilometres away from the city where I was born, and last year I expanded my company to Paraná, by opening a new branch and a recycling plant in the industrial park of the city, to be able to offer our sustainable solution to much more cities all around de province and the country, which is my principal objective.

    Improving Urban Infrastructure: Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt
    (2021-04-04) Groisman, Enzo Hernán
    Roads are believed to be one of the most important elements in urban infrastructure and their role in our everyday life has increased over the years due to their crucial contribution to economic development and growth apart from bringing important social benefits. Modifying the asphalt used in road construction with recycled polymers such as crumb rubber leads to an improvement in its properties and reduces its cost. This paper aims to study the raw materials used in its production and the different methods to produce the crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA), physical and rheological properties of CRMA, ananalysis of pavement distress, and advantages and benefits of its use. In the studies reviewed, it was found that CRMA improved every physical and rheological property as well as the fatigue and rutting resistance. Overall, the results indicate that the use of scrap tire rubber in asphalt not only helps recycle rubber waste, but also improves the engineering properties of this flexible pavement to get multiple benefits.
