Abstract Cold recycling of asphalt is an effective solution to reduce the environmental impacts pavement construction and operation. This approach reduces use scarce resources fossil fuels, prevents spread greenhouse pollutants in air. Despite its benefits, recycled does have drawbacks, some which include nibbling, stripping, less resistance fatigue. The additives can improve mechanical propert...
