Correction: Effect of ethylene-vinyl acetate and rubber waste on asphalt concrete performance

The increasing volume of road traffic, heavier axle loads on pavements and extreme weather events have exposed the limitations of conventional asphalt pavements, particularly susceptibility to rutting, thermal cracking, and rapid aging [1,2], so that better performance of road construction materials are required.Despite their widespread use and despite the relatively low cost, conventional unmodified bituminous binders exhibit limited thermal stability and narrow operational temperature [3] and
