The Application of Rubberized Road in Malaysia

This study is about the road pavement construction - rubberized road. It is using the rubberized bitumen as the layer of road surface dressing. Rubberized bitumen is the mixture of hot bitumen with rubber. On 13th October 2014, Datuk Douglas Amar Uggah Embas (Minister of Plantation Industries and Co...
