Asphalt, commonly known as blacktop, is a durable and versatile material primarily used in road construction. Composed of a mixture of aggregates like gravel, sand, and crushed stone, bound together by a sticky petroleum-based binder, asphalt forms a solid, waterproof surface upon cooling. Its application involves spreading the hot mixture onto a prepared surface, followed by compaction to create a smooth, even road surface. The uses of asphalt extend beyond roadways, encompassing parking lots, driveways, airport runways, and racetracks due to its resilient nature and cost-effectiveness. Its advantages lie in its ability to withstand heavy traffic loads, weathering, and temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, asphalt's dark color absorbs and retains heat, aiding in the melting of ice and snow during colder months. There are various types of asphalt, including hot mix asphalt (HMA), warm mix asphalt (WMA), and cold mix asphalt (CMA).
