One of the most successful means of improving paving performance is by the use of Crump Rubber (CR). Increased demand for Asphalt Rubber Gap-graded (AR-Gap) mixtures as a pavement material has resulted from improvements in the basic asphalt binder as well as environmental advantages and improved performance in recent years. A number of agencies and researchers conducted AR-Gap mix studies to evaluate the design and performance of AR-Gap mixtures. In this study, the most recent research and practices in the design of AR-Gap mixtures were reviewed, and the performance characteristics of these mixtures were also summarized. In addition, the positive effect of adding ground rubber on the performance of the mixtures, including the effect on fatigue cracking, drainage, moisture susceptibility and permanent deformation is also reviewed. In conclusion, future aims in the building of AR-Gap pavement and performance potential were discussed, which will assist it in becoming a viable long-term pavement choice in the future. Based on the results of the evaluation process, it was discovered that there is still potential to improve the current design state of AR-Gap mixtures as well as the effect of rubber inserts in improving the performance of the mix.
