Asphalt, also called bituminous conglomerate, isa fundamental material of road construction field. The main area of usage of bituminous mixtures is inroad construction. Bituminous mixtures consist of essentially two ingredients, aggregate and binder. The major difference between asphalt and concrete is that bitumen and bituminous materials are used as binder in asphalt.
Due to the ever increasing intensity of today's traffic conditions there is a demand for higher levels of performance from roads. As a result, the testing of the asphalt needs to look not only at the constituent mix but the performance characteristics as well.
Analysis and design tests of bituminous mixtures, bitumen and bituminous tests, asphalt and road quality tests are provided for engineering firms and construction companies to produce, inspect and evaluate the paving materials to ensure the strength. physical and mechanical performance and durability towards safe application and use.
