Effect of Mixing Variables on Physical Properties of Modified Bitumen Using Natural Rubber Latex

Modification of bitumen using polymers has been used from a long time to solve the roads problem which subjected to several distresses; mostly due to heavy traffic, poor bitumen properties, climatic condition and improper mix design. The application of natural rubber latex (NRL) in asphalt mixtures...
