Study on Ageing Process of Polymer Modified Bitumen

Bitumen is a very complex combination of organic compound and contain high proportion of hydrocarbons with high carbon numbers. The main application of bitumen is in road industry because of its good adhesion to mineral aggregates and its physical properties. The major failure modes using only bitum...
