Stone Mastic Asphalt is based on the principle of a "self-supporting chippings framework" as well as on a high binder content through the use of fibrous material. The low void content makes the finished SMA layer practically impermeable to water. With properties such as versatile, durable, stable, wear-resistant, deformation-resistant and fatigue-resistant, Stone Mastic Asphalt meets the requirements of a modern road network, and road users, municipalities and the asphalt industry can all benefit from this.</p> Kerim Hrapović Copyright (c) 2024 Kerim Hrapović https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-07-13 2024-07-13 4 4 1 15
