Effect of modified sasobit on performance asphalt mixture

Previous researched had shown that modified bitumen has the ability to offer improved performance over conventional bitumen. Due to the increasing number of traffic loads and volume, used of conventional bitumen is not enough to prevent the pavement from deterioration. Nowadays, modified asphalt tec...
