Laboratory Investigations on Cold Asphalt Mixes Oluwaseyi Lanre Oke

Cold mixes with focus on the use of reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAPs) with bitumen emulsions and foamed asphalt are increasingly becoming useful and popular in the construction/rehabilitation of bituminous roads in developed countries of the world. The major benefits of such materials and methods are that they assist in stretching funds available for roads, since they have been acclaimed among others to be economical (old materials are reused), energy and eco-efficient, when used for road construction or upgrading. This book mainly focuses on cold mixes with special interest in RAPs and bitumen emulsion as stabilizing agent.
