Asphalt Questions with Correct
Answers
How are Natural Asphalts formed? - ANSWERSWhen crude petroleum oils rose to the
earths surface and formed pools, The action of the sun and wind drove off the lighter
oils and gases, leaving a heavy residue.
What are the differences in asphalt and tar? - ANSWERSAsphalt- a dark brown black
cementitious material, solid or semisolid in consistency, in which the predominating
constituents are bitumens which occur in nature such as or are obtained as residue in
refining petroleum.
Tar-brown or black bituminous material, liquid or semisolid in consistency, in which the
predominating constituents are bitumens obtained by condensates in the destructive
distillation of coal, petroleum, oil, shale, wood, or other organic materials, and which
yields substantial quantities of pitch when distilled.
What are bituminous materials? - ANSWERSMixture of hydrocarbons of natural or
pyrogenous origin or combinations of both, frequently accompanied by their nonmetallic
derivatives, which are completely soluble in carbon disulfide.
What are the classifications of petroleum crude oil, based on their asphalt content? -
ANSWERS1) Asphaltic base crude (almost entirely asphalt)
2) Paraffin base crude (contains paraffin but no asphalt)
3) Mixed base crude (contains both paraffin and asphalt)
5) How is the percentage of asphalt in a crude oil determined? - ANSWERSAmount of
asphalt obtained from a crude oil is based on its API gravity. The higher the gravity the
lower asphalt and vise versa
6) What distillation process is used to produce asphalt? - ANSWERSTypical crude oil is
produced through a distillation tower. The crude oil is heated to 650 degrees to 700
degrees and fed into the atmospheric tower. Materials will rise based on their boiling
points and the residual, heavy material is the asphalt binder.
7) What do the basic tests of asphalt materials measure? - ANSWERSThe consistency
properties of catonic and anionic emulsions using a viscosity test at two different temps.
The relative properties of asphalt emulsions and the cement residue, and many others
8) Basic requirements of asphalt pavement? - ANSWERS1) Have sufficient total
thickness and internal strength to carry expected traffic loads
2) Prevent penetration or internal accumulation of water

  6. Basic requirements of asphalt pavement? - ANSWERS1) Have sufficient total thickness and internal strength to carry expected traffic loads
  7. Prevent penetration or internal accumulation of water
  1. Have a top surface that is smooth and resistant to wear distortion, skidding, and deterioration by weathering and deicing chemicals.
  2. Factors to consider when designing asphalt pavement thickness? - ANSWERS1) Traffic to be served initially and over the design service of the pavement.
  3. Strength and other pertinent properties of the subgrade
  4. Strength and other influencing. Characteristics of the materials are available or chosen for the layers or courses in the total asphalt pavement structure.
  5. Any special factors peculiar to the road being designed
  6. Traffic to be served initially and over the design service of the pavement.
  7. Strength and other pertinent properties of the subgrade
  8. Strength and other influencing. Characteristics of the materials are available or chosen for the layers or courses in the total asphalt pavement structure.
  9. Any special factors peculiar to the road being designed
  10. Objectives of asphalt pavement mixtures? - ANSWERS1) Sufficient asphalt to ensure a durable pavement
  11. Sufficient mix stability to satisfy the demands of traffic without distortion or displacement
  12. Sufficient voids in total compacted mix to allow for a slight amount of additional compaction under traffic loading without flushing, bleeding, or loss of stability yet low enough to keep out harmful air and moisture.
  13. Sufficient workability to permit efficient placement of the mix
  14. Sufficient asphalt to ensure a durable pavement
  15. Sufficient mix stability to satisfy the demands of traffic without distortion or displacement
  16. Sufficient voids in total compacted mix to allow for a slight amount of additional compaction under traffic loading without flushing, bleeding, or loss of stability yet low enough to keep out harmful air and moisture.
  17. Sufficient workability to permit efficient placement of the mix
  18. What are tack coats and prime coats? - ANSWERSTack coats- are used to bond asphalt layers to a Portland cement base or other stone base Prime coats- are sprayed on top of the surface with liquid that will seep in or penetrate the base.
  19. What is the suggested pavement thickness for a full-depth asphalt concrete driveway, if the in situ soils are non plastic clayey loams? - ANSWERS10 in.
  20. What is the surge storage, and how is it used in asphalt concrete production? - ANSWERSA place to temporarily store hot mix. This allows for easy of loading and avoiding down time between each batch.
