Abstract: Instrumented indentation presents an approach to measure the mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus of
materials on micro and nano scale. This gives an idea about the behavior of materials during their application when they are laid as layers
of thickness of the nano or micro scale level. Two advantages can be achieved from the utilization of instrumented micro-indentation on
crumb rubber modified asphalt; the first would be to measure the properties of asphalt layers of thicknesses on the micro scale to simulate
the behavior of thin asphalt layer on aggregate
