ABSTRACT

In a world concerned with environmentally friendly construction technologies and sustainability, asphalt durability is taking on an added signicance. Worldwide asphalt consumption was on the order of 108 Mt in 2010 (United States 33 Mt), which accounted for 2.4% of the total oil demand. Asphalt’s use as a paving material accounts for roughly 80% of this and is the focus of this chapter.
