 Calculate the quantity of asphalt for a road  Given that  - Length of a road (L) = 500m - width  of a road (W) = 4 m - Asphalt Thickness (T) = 15cm  Information  - density of asphalt = 2330kg/m³  - 1 Ton =1000kg                        solution Asphalt is a  mixture of aggregates, binder and filler , used for constructing and maintaining roads, parking areas, railway tracks, ports, airport runways, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and also play- and sport areas. Aggregates used for asphalt mixtures could be crushed rock, sand, gravel or slags. - weight of asphalt = volume x density                                                     of asphalt  - weight of asphalt  = 500m x 0.15m x 4m = 300m³  Weight of asphalt (WA) WA= 300m³ x 2330kg/m³  WA= 6...

  The Difference Between Expressway, Highway,  Motorway, Causeway, And Freeway        Various road terminologies are bound to be used without proper or thorough information or enlightenment on the reasons behind such terminologies. Roads come in different types and for different utilization.  1. Expressway. An expressway is a wide road which is targeted at fast moving traffic. Unlike many other roads on the list, the expressway features multiple demarcated lanes which could also include a service lane. The point of the expressway is to promote smooth movement of traffic by dedicating lanes for vehicles about to use the intersections. As earlier stated, most expressways include a service lane. This auxiliary lane is meant for vehicles about to access a street or an intersection. The purpose of the service lane is so that these cars do not disturb the rest of the cars navigating the major roads on the expressway.   2. Highway. Highway is a term...

Different methods of road construction in civil engineering 1) Concrete: It is a common option for road construction purposes as they are a solid material and can be used for building walls and local roads. This method is considerably less prone to wear and tear defects like rutting, cracking, stripping loss of texture, and potholes. This is the main reason for its wide usage. 2) Asphalt: This method of construction replacing concrete method in these days. They are very durable, water-resistant and can go more longer then the concrete. The major advantage of asphalt over concrete is its price. Concrete is very expensive as compared to asphalt. Moreover, asphalt includes low noise during pavement and it is easy to handle it for repairing and maintenance. That is why it is widely accepted and used by the people for the purpose of pavement surfacing. 3) Composite: This method is widely used for the maintenance, recycling, and rehabilitation of the roads. The composite m...
