Performance evaluation of waste palm oil fiber reinforced stone matrix asphalt mixtures using traditional and sequential mixing processes

Asphalt pavement in tropical countries like Malaysia faces severe distresses. Thus, the use of more resistant and stable asphalt mixtures on the surface layer like stone matrix asphalt concrete (SMAC) is encouraged. The performance-related properties of asphaltic concrete are highly influenced by th...

Thus, the use of more resistant and stable asphalt mixtures on the surface layer like stone matrix asphalt concrete (SMAC) is encouraged.
