It is commonly known as asphalt concrete and refers to a composite material used for paving roadways and other transportation infrastructure. It consists of liquid asphalt binder and graded mineral aggregate stones mixed together to form a viscoelastic mixture optimized for constructability and traffic loads. The term “bituminous concrete” comes from the naturally occurring hydrocarbon…
