Description
Summary:Bitumen modification is adequate development to exhibits better performance characteristics than conventional binder. The construction of road using conventional bitumen in the mixture has various problems to be addressed such as short-term durability in lifespan to the pavement resulted from heavy traffic loading on the road surface. Rutting is one of the primary roads of failure where wheel path appeared on the pavement surface. Impressed by this matter, bitumen has undergone modification to enhance its properties so that pavement can be sustained for a certain time. Natural rubber cuplump is one type of natural rubber polymer.
