A set of experiments are described where the fundamental uniaxial tension and compression properties of an asphaltic concrete composed of scrap tires, crushed beer bottles, and asphalt were determined using constant strain rate tests. The analyses included statistical evaluations and approximations of the moduli, compliances, and times to failure for other types of loading. Over 5 decades of strain rate testing, the ultimate stress varied between 7 and 530 psi and the ultimate strain varied between 2.8 and 0.34 percent, where the compression properties were a half-order greater than the tension properties. Optimization of the mixture reported and then field implementation by street construction would not only provide a potential means for recycling all waste glass and scrap tires, this would also provide a means for constructing a superior pavement for less cost. Increased elongation or strain in the pavement could be achieved due to the rubber, and decreased thermal stress due to environmental conditions would result because of the low coefficient of thermal expansion for glass.
