Asphalt Concrete An asphalt mixture consisting of continuous graded aggregate, filler aggregate and bituminous binder proportioned to produce a dense and impermeable surfacing. Asphalt Surfacing A porous friction course, surface course, or a combination of these, and a binder course. Asphaltic Concrete Alternative name for 'Asphalt Concrete'.
dense, smooth texture sand asphalt for leveling where feathered edge is required dense, granular texture for rural suburban, and urban arterial roadways dense, gritty texture for single course resurfacing of rural, suburban, and urban arterial NOTES: 1. All aggregate percentages are based on the total weight of the aggregate. The asphalt ...
• Preventative maintenance on asphalt pavement. Pavement condition • Dense-graded asphalt or concrete. • Pavement condition rating of "Good" and higher. • Polished surface. • Highly oxidized. • Few low-severity cracks. Very few cracks greater than 0.25 inch Wide. • Minor rutting ≤ 0.25 inch.
The binder course sits between the surface and the base course where its key function is to distribute load to the base course. Our binder course includes: AC 20 dense binder 100/150 is normally used between the surface course and the base course and is suitable for footpaths and light traffic areas.
used for leveling, and base courses as well as surface courses; broadly graded, dense mixes.

Asphalt concrete base (ACB), also called asphalt treated base (ATB), is a dense-graded HMA with a larger nominal maximum aggregate size (1 inch) intended for use as a base course or binder course (see Figure 1). In addition to site paving benefits, ACB can be advantageous because it can provide: A waterproof barrier to prevent fines infiltration into the subgrade and pavement structure.
Dense asphalt concrete is often used as the 'basic' surface layer. 2. Asphalt Concrete for very thin layers (AC-TL) "Asphalt for surface courses with a thickness of 20 mm to 30 mm, in which the aggregate particles are generally gap-graded to form a stone to stone contact and to provide an open surface texture".

6mm Dense Bituminous Macadam / Asphalt Concrete 6. Normally used on footpaths, playgrounds and drive ways. A fine close textured material that can be laid as a thin surface course often used to overlay an existing surface with a new surface course. 20-30mm is normal laying thickness. Ideal for pedestrian areas and light domestic usage.
Asphalt concrete base (ACB), also called asphalt treated base (ATB), is a dense-graded HMA with a larger nominal maximum aggregate size (1 inch) intended for use as a base course or binder course (see Figure 1). In addition to site paving benefits, ACB can be advantageous because it can provide:
Asphalt/Asphalt Concrete mixes are designed for specific functions, characteristics, attributes, performance, location and function in the pavement structure. For example, asphalt surface mixes have an entirely different function in the pavement structure than base asphalt mixes and are therefore designed differently.
Dense graded HMA is the most common mix used as a structural surface course. The aggregate is uniformly graded to provide for a stable and impermeable surface. The aggregate can be treated and the asphalt binder can be modified. HMA could be made from new or recycled material. Examples of recycled asphalt include, but are not limited to
