Styrofoam Waste as Bitumen Modifier in Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete

The study investigates the potential use of Styrofoam waste (polystyrene) as bitumen modifier in asphaltic concrete for road pavement construction. It aims to meet two distinct needs which are to reuse plastic waste as well as protecting the environment and to improve the resistance of bitumen wh...
