of asphalt concrete. By 1995 it had cracked to such a degree and become rough enough to warrant rehabilitation with asphalt rubber layer. Since then, the asphalt rubber also cracked to some degree, but the ride is still very good. This rehabilitation section was a ten-year design and it ...
If you live in the north and plan to pave your driveway, asphalt is likely the chosen material. Asphalt driveways are common in northern climates where the black color and resiliency of the material do well in harsh, cold winters. Asphalt is also less expensive than concrete and easier to ...
When the theory is applied to the comparison of asset alternatives that have radically different technical aspects (i.e. concrete versus asphalt) and dissimilar service lives, some of the fundamental assumptions made in classic engineering economic theory no longer apply and the output is faulty. [...
Concrete Workers $110/cubic yard Architects 10% - 17% of the total building budget Additions for Bungalows Like many home styles, you can add several things to your home and property to enhance the final design. Some of these additions are to the house, while others are to the yard and ...
The objective of this research project was to provide a comparative cost analysis of pavements constructed using stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures versus those built with WisDOT's conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures, based on parallel life-cycles (inclusive of any required maintenance) an...

PB's Highway Construction Cost Index (PB HCCI) increased approximately 0.7 index points, or 0.4%, in the month of February 2012 (compared with January 2012). In the month, asphalt increased 2.77% and was the primary driver for the monthly increase. Year to date the index has grown 0.6%...
Recycling versus incinerationConcreteSloveniaThe treatment of tar-contaminated reclaimed asphalt can cause serious problems.Recycling versus incineration was studied in a quantitative way by means of LCA.As proven, recycling could show a benefit for several environmental indicators....
