Evaluation of stone mastic asphalt using palm oil fuel ash as filler material

This paper presents a study of laboratory evaluation on the performance of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) using Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as filler material. POFA produced by burning palm fibre and shell which is generally used as boiler fuel to produce steam for electricity generation in the mill. POFA...
