The effect of rubber dipping by-product on bitumen properties

Nowadays, there a lot of damaged of road pavement and it become a very serious issue in Malaysia. To minimise the damage of pavement surface and increase durability of flexible pavement, the conventional bitumen needs to be improved with regards to performance related properties. Thus, this study pr...
