Improving the rutting resistance of asphalt pavement modified with the carbon nanotubes additive

Up to the present time, assiduous efforts were devoted to mitigating the development of asphaltic pavement rutting. To this intention, nanotechnology recently received considerable attention to magnify the resistance against such distress. This work elucidated the worthiness of utilizing the industr...
