Evaluation of fundamental properties of compacted mixes used as patching materials for low volume roads

Patching is one of the most common maintenance tasks carried out on low/medium volume roads in Malaysia. It is a technique of treating pavement distresses such as potholes and cracks. Failure of patched road is now becoming a burden to the responsible authority since a lot of money has been spent fo...
