History Of Asphalt
The first indications of constructed roads date from about 4000 BC and consist of stone paved streets at Ur in modern-day Iraq and timber roads preserved in a swamp in Glastonbury, England. The road builders of the ate 1800s depended solely on stone, gravel and sand for construction. Water would be used as a binder to give some unity to the road surface.
Today, 96% of all paved roads and streets
in the U.S. - almost two million miles -
are surfaced with asphalt. Almost all
paving asphalt used today is obtained
by processing crude oils. After everything
of value is removed, the leftovers are
made into asphalt cement for pavement.
Man-made asphalt consists of compounds
of hydrogen and carbon with minor
proportions of nitrogen, sulfur and
oxygen. Natural forming asphalt, or
Brea, also contains mineral deposits.
