Water Sensitivity Of Warm Porous Asphalt Incorporating Sasobit®

The asphalt industry is making constant efforts to minimize energy consumption and reduce emissions by lowering asphalt production temperature. This can be achieved by incorporating warm asphalt additive named Sasobit®. In this study, rheological properties of a conventional bitumen 60/70 penetratio...
