Stone mastic asphalt consists of two components coarse aggregate and bitumen-filled mortar (bituminous blend, filler, stabilizing additives like cellulosic or mineral fibers). Such a form hot mix (SMA) was first developed in Germany the mid-1960s to cope with corrosion ribbed wheel destruction. The mixture then known as stone asphalt, which not only immune wheels but also has strong resistance ...

Background: The main goal of the present study was to evaluate effect topical mastic oil, compared placebo on treatment functional dyspepsia (FD). Materials and Methods: Sixty-three patients with FD were included. Thirty-two subjects received oil (10 drops/TDS after meal) massage 31 sesame massage. Both groups pantoprazole (40 mg daily) along severity early satiation, postprandial fullness, epi...

The aggregate in an asphalt mixture is coated with mastic consisting of bitumen (dilute phase) and filler (particulates phase). interaction packing plays important role the properties mastics. micromechanics models from composite rheology can be used to predict stiffening effect a suspension. In this research, fillers was investigated based on mastic. frequency sweep tests dynamic shear rheomet...

This review paper shows several sections of bitumen, asphalt mixtures, polymers, and waste plastic in pavement engineering. The reviews evaluates the influence using polymer improving rheological engineering properties modified binder mixtures. Evaluation design stone mastic mixtures are reviewed. Reports studies had investigated advantages importance bitumen modification; however, they yet sho...
