Modern Asphalt Uses and Benefits

Asphalt is the primary material used for roads and parking areas of commercial properties. Over 90% of areas used for parking purposes are covered in asphalt. Even though the earth contains an abundance of natural asphalt, it is the most recycled product in the United States due to the ease of recycling. Around 80% of old asphalt removed from parking areas or other paved areas is recycled and reused elsewhere.

At the same time, asphalt is recycled, other materials also get recycled which increases overall recycling rates. These materials include rubber products such as old tires, some types of metals, and roofing shingles. The dark black product you recognize on the street is a mixture of several different substances and fillers.

Besides being found abundantly and easy to recycle and reuse, asphalt has many other benefits. For personal and commercial travelers, driving on asphalt has been proven to reduce fuel consumption and highway noise. Roads paved with asphalt are also easy to fix when they become damaged, which reduces traffic delays and detour time. Depending on the type of damage, different types of repairs may be required.

Small clusters of cracks that resemble the skin of an alligator are called alligator cracks.

Cracks that occur in larger rectangles or squares are referred to as block cracks.

Areas of high traffic can lead to cracks in a perpendicular line that are called transverse cracks.

If a crack occurs at the asphalt edge, it is named an edge crack.

If you see areas that begin in a crescent shape, it has the potential to develop into a pothole and is referred to as slippage.
