Performance of hot mix asphalt using peat modified asphalt binder

In recent years, the road distresses have caused millions of ringgit to maintenance cost. Hence, allowed paving technologists to examine the benefits of introducing additives and modifiers. As a result modifiers such as fillers, extenders polymers (natural and synthetic), fibers among others, are in...
