How to calculate the weight of asphalt

• Now a days asphalt paving is a very popular
  material as paving. The mostly driveway paving
  companies also recommend asphalt for paving work
  as parking lots, residential driveway, or
  commercial road, etc.
• In calculating the weight of asphalt, necessary
  is the volume and specific gravity. It can be
  derived by calculating the volume from the
  construction area and thickness of the asphalt
  pavement and multiplying the specific gravity of
  the asphalt used for pavement.
• Here, I will explain the basic knowledge which is
  the prerequisite for weight calculation and the
  attention abnormal to asphalt.

About specific gravity

• Specific gravity is a word indicating how heavy
  an object is with respect to the same volume of
  water. Since the specific gravity of the
  reference water is 1 and the weight per square
  meter is clear as 1 ton, weight can be calculated
  concisely by multiplying the volume by the
  specific gravity of the object.
• Specific gravity is determined by the density
  of the object. Density is a term expressing the
  weight per volume of an object, the higher the
  density, the higher the specific gravity.
• Specific gravity becomes very important to
  calculate the weight of asphalt.

The calculation method for finding weight from
volume

• When calculating the weight of asphalt by
  calculation, you can use a method of multiplying
  the volume by specific gravity.
• Volume is obtained by multiplying the
  construction area by the thickness of the
  pavement, but usually, the asphalt is pressed
  slightly because it is treated with a road roller
  etc. after spreading.
• This is called rolling reduction, and it is
  necessary to calculate it taking into account the
  volume of stepped down. Since the volume
  decreasing by treading is considered to be
  approximately 8, 1.08 is multiplied by the
  calculation formula as the rolling reduction.
• Based on the above, the weight calculation of
  asphalt is expressed as follows.
• Area (m 2) thickness (m) specific gravity
  rolling reduction (1.08) weight (t)

Points to note when calculating

• In general, asphalt used for paving is called
  dense particle size asphalt mixture.
• Although the specific gravity is set to 2.35, the
  specific gravity determined by the manufacturing
  company may differ depending on the product
  asphalt actually used for construction.
• Lets ask the asphalt shipping contractor in
  advance to ask the gravity to confirm.
• The specific gravity also varies depending on the
  type of asphalt used as described below. The
  calculation can be done smoothly by checking what
  kind of asphalt to use at the time of
  construction.

The density of asphalt mixture

• The so-called asphalt used for paving is
  officially called an asphalt mixture and is
  classified according to density.
• Each type of asphalt mixture has different
  strength and weight.
• Differentiation of the asphalt mixture is
  determined by the size and density ( particle
  size) of the blended particles, and there are
  dense grain asphalt mixture, fine grain
  asphalt mixture and open grain asphalt mixture
  in order of strength.
• Since the strength and properties of asphalt
  required for paving change, change the type to
  use according to the required strength.

9
The type changes according to the ratio of
asphalt mixture

• The materials that make up the asphalt mixture
  are as follows.
• Coarse aggregate- A relatively large gravel or
  crushed stone, with more than 85 left when
  sieving the eye size to 5 mm filter.
• Fine aggregate- 85 falls through a 5 mm
  sieve, relatively small gravel, and crushed
  stone.
• Filler- A fine powder of mineral which further
  crushed gravel and crushed stone into crushed
  powder. It has the role of filling the gap
  between the aggregate.
• Asphalt- Adhesive that summarizes the above
  aggregate and filler as a connection and
  completes it as an asphalt mixture. The residue
  of Petroleum to separate gasoline and heavy oil
  and purify. If you use cement instead of asphalt
  for concrete, it becomes concrete.

Dense particle size Asphalt mixture

• Asphalt pavement which is most often seen in
  everyday life, it is often used for road paving.
  It is characterized by large grains mixed, there
  is an advantage that it is inexpensive and can be
  constructed in a short period of time.
• It is an important characteristic that it is hard
  to deform, it is resistant to wear, and the
  anti-slip effect is high.

11
Fine particle size asphalt mixture

• It is a pave that mixed a lot of smaller grains
  than those of dense grain size. Because the
  particles are small and the gaps are small, they
  are characterized by high water resistance and
  strong resistance to cracking.
• Open grain size Asphalt mixture
• It is a pavement with small grains distributed at
  low density. Even if the surface compares the
  above two, it is characterized by being very
  rough, it is said that it is hard to make a
  puddle to suck water well.
• Moreover, in order to prevent moisture from
  staying on the surface, it also has the
  characteristic that the road surface is hard to
  slip.

12
The difference in specific gravity and
performance of asphalt mixture

• The specific gravity and performance of each
  general asphalt mixture, the scenes to be used
  are summarized below.
• Dense particle size Asphalt mixture
• Specific gravity 2.35
• Performance The most popular asphalt for paving.
  Strong, slip resistant, construction is cheap.
• Mainly used places Road with many passengers
  including national highways. A part with a sharp
  gradient.
• Fine particle size asphalt mixture
• Specific gravity 2.30
• Performance Water resistant to cracking hard. On
  the other hand, it has difficulty to deform.
• Mainly used places Where heavy trucks such as
  heavy-duty trucks frequently operate and parking
  lots.

13
Open grain size Asphalt mixture

• Specific gravity 1.94
• Performance Water drainage is good, the road
  surface is easy to dry, so it is difficult to
  slip. On the other hand, wear resistance is lower
  to the above.
• Mainly used places Locations where road surfaces
  are likely to get wet, such as places that are
  prone to flooding and snowy countries.

14
Unit weight of asphalt

• If you know the specific gravity, you can
  calculate the weight per volume by weight. Below
  is the weight per cubic meter of each asphalt
  mixture.
• About 2.5 tons of dense grain asphalt mixture
• Fine particle size asphalt mixture About 2.4 tons
• Open grain size asphalt mixture About 2.0 tons
• The above unit weight is multiplied by the number
  which is regarded as general gravity to the last.

15
Procedures for using asphalt on outside
construction

• The external structure is a term other than the
  construction of the building that refers to the
  structure inside the buildings, the whole of the
  exterior. In addition it seems that driveway
  paving contractors suggest asphalt, and also
  there are many people who want to pave their
  parking lots with asphalt material as well.
• This discussion may help you if you want to pave
  your driveway or parking lot yourself or want to
  hair an asphalt paving company. Concrete and
  asphalt are generally used for the exterior
  pavement, but here I will explain the step by
  step construction when using asphalt

16
Basic knowledge of asphalt construction

• I will introduce the basic properties of asphalt,
  the structure when laying on the ground, and the
  place where asphalt is used as pavement material.
• Basic properties of asphalt
• When we so-called asphalt for paving is the
  official name "asphalt mixture" and is
  manufactured by blending asphalt and some other
  materials. The materials are roughly classified
  in descending order as follows.
• Coarse aggregate
• It is relatively large gravel and crushed stone.
  This is about 85 of the large grain that
  remained through a 5 mm eye filter. Pavement
  materials mixed with coarse aggregate are rough
  on the surface, enhancing durability and
  anti-slip effect.
• Tine aggregate
• It falls on a 5 mm sieve and refers to relatively
  small gravel or crushed stone. The surface of the
  paved road which contains a lot of fine
  aggregates is finely fine and becomes strong
  against water and cracks.

17
Where asphalt is often used

• Generally speaking, asphalt is often seen in
  roads such as general roads and highways. Asphalt
  is widely used for road pavement from its
  excellent road characteristics.
• However, even outside the road, repairs are easy,
  construction costs are cheap, and functionalities
  such as drainage are high so it may be used for
  parking lots and housing exteriors. In addition,
  asphalt is also used as water resistant the
  material on the roofs.

18
Step 1 drilling the underground

• In order to build the road floor and the bedrock
  which becomes the foundation of the road, we
  first dig in the construction area. Depending on
  the strength of the ground to be constructed, we
  will drill the roadbed as much as necessary, dig
  your driveway soil about 12 cm for a pedestrian
  and about 25 to 30 cm for the driveway or more
  according to the use of the driveway. We will
  reinforce the ground here if the ground is weak.
• After excavation, tread the exposed soil with a
  roller etc. If you need a brick fence or a block
  fence at the scene at a parking lot or the like,
  it is installed at this stage.

19
Step 2 Roadbed adjustment/crush piling

• Lay down crushed stones in the drill holes and
  form the roadbed. Large gravel is used for the
  lower roadbed, and small gravel stone is used for
  the upper roadbed.
• Also, decide the height and slope of the roadbed
  so that rainwater accumulated on the surface of
  the asphalt flows smoothly to the side grooves.
  Depending on the shape of the parking lot
  (extended parking lot etc), it may be necessary
  to have many slopes.

20
Step 3 Make a rolling pressure on the road

• To maintain the crushed stone density high, we
  will roll the roadbed. Put pressure on the
  crushed stone further with a road roller etc.
• Tighten firmly until it reaches the specified
  density. If rolling pressure runs short, ground
  subsidence may occur, so it is a very important
  process.

21
Step 4 Lay out the asphalt composite material

• We will spread the asphalt mixture forming the
  surface layer and the base layer. The asphalt
  softens by heating and solidifies when it cools
  down, so it becomes a spreading operation while
  keeping warm if necessary.
• Considering that it will settle after completion
  of the construction, carry out a work called
  "remaining bulk" to bulge the finished surface of
  asphalt beforehand.
• After the overgrowth is complete, make it so that
  the road surface becomes flat.

22
Step 5 Rolling the asphalt pavement

• Since asphalt just laid is mixed with air, it is
  soft and fluffy, so firmly pressurize it with a
  roller or vibrator to remove air and tread it.
• Temperature management becomes very important
  also during rolling. To finish cleanly it is
  necessary that the high temperature is
  maintained, and if it cools down during work it
  will cause distortion and cracking.
• After sufficiently treading down, wait for the
  asphalt to cool down and be completed.
