Crumb rubber modified bitumen: A waste-based sunscreen for roads
New Study of Rubberised Asphalt
Rubberised asphalt has been around for a long time and its proponents have an armoury of arguments for its use. However, a new study into the impact of UV light on rubber modified bitumen suggests that rubberised asphalt can protect road surfaces from UV degradation.
This study investigates the effect of UV radiations on the chemo-mechanical properties of neat and modified bitumen with different concentrations of crumb rubber and compares it to that of thermal ageing.
