Mechanical performance of fibers in hot mix asphalt: A review

The use of fibers in hot mix asphalt (HMA) has become a much more attractive alternative for the construction of road pavements. Numerous studies have shown that the incorporation of fibers in the mixture improves fatigue resistance, permanent deformation and stiffness. The aim of this paper is to present a review of the mechanical impact of fibers in HMA by analyzing their reinforcement effect in a qualitative and quantitative manner. Fiber...
