Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Using Crumb Rubber Modified Binder in an Asphalt PavementSayed Mohamad Soleimani, Alanoud Faheiman, Zainab MowazeIn this study, laboratory investigations have been carried out to characterize and demonstrate the improved performance of asphalt after modifying it with crumb rubber. The study has been divided into two main parts. Firstly, the physical characterizations of crumb rubber modified bitumen with different percentages of crumb rubber have been evaluated using penetration, softening point, viscosity, ductility and thin film … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 May 2020 · 8,377 accessesView PDFCite
