Influence of crumb rubber size particles on moisture damage and strength of the hot mix asphalt
Tropical countries such as Malaysia experience a high amount of rainfall that can lead to a common type of distress on the roads known as moisture damage. Using waste materials as additives in the asphalt mixture is an innovative measure to improve the quality and strength of the mixture. In this st...
