Like petroleum, naturally occurring asphalt is formed from the remains of ancient organisms, such as microscopic algae. The deceased creatures are deposited on the bottom of a lake or ocean. As they become buried in the earth, they undergo extreme heat and pressure.
If you happen to live in a cold place and you're looking for something to pave your driveway with, your best bet would be asphalt. This is because asphalt isn't as prone to expansion and contraction as concrete is and, being black, it absorbs more heat which helps to melt ice and snow.
If you have concrete roads that need repair or replacing, there may be an economical option. Breaking up the concrete into rubble, then overlaying asphalt pavement uses fewer materials, minimizes delays, saves landfill space and reduces fuel costs - saving money on all fronts.
Did you know that asphalt is America's most recycled product? According to the National Asphalt Pavement Association, asphalt pavements are being recycled at a rate of 99%, saving taxpayers at least $300 million annually.
Most traffic damage to asphalt concrete comes from trucks and buses. The more weight an axle carries, the more damage the pavement will suffer. Adding weight to an axle increseases damage exponentially to a power of four.
