Modification of Asphalt Binder with Waste Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam
Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi, 2021 Waste polymers are widely used in asphalt modification, especially, in order to reduce their detrimental effect on the environment. This study discusses the usability of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam in asphalt modification. In this respect, the EPS foam, which produces waste in both production and use stages, was mixed with bitumen by weight ...
