Obviously, everyone thought about establishing a business at least for one time in their life. The aspire of working entirely for yourself, not for somebody else, is appealing. But only a few dare to open their own business. On the other hand, some people do not have tangible ideas, and some do not dare to […]
Disadvantages of Plastic Bitumen
As far as using plastics in constructing new roads and highways, this is nothing new. Recently, studies have shed light onto the usage of plastic waste in road construction, specifically, plastic roads. Plastic roads primarily make use of plastic grocery bags, PET bottles and disposable cups reclaimed from landfills as a main ingredient for the […]
Disadvantages of Concrete
Disadvantages of concrete roads: cost: Concrete cement costs much more compare to bitumen. Saving the projects from the extra costs is one of the most critical elements to consider for the road builders. Sometimes to stop the concrete from drying too early, select chemicals need to be added or wet cloth like a cover. […]
Advantages of Concrete
Why do some countries have started replacing asphalt Roads with concrete? India has started to expand its usage, for instance, if you drive from Pune to Mumbai, you will notice the expressway being beautifully paved in concrete. It not just that even more in almost all the new projects in India they are mostly using […]
Cement Bitumen
emulsified asphalt mixtures are more beneficial and better than hot mixtures, environmentally, economically, and logistically advantages over hot mixtures. However, the emulsified bitumen is at the attention of the scientist as structural layers due to their deficient performance and proneness to be damaged early by rainfall. Mechanical characteristic of emulsion mixtures can be enhanced and […]
Plastic Bitumen
Most of the industrial activities leave an enormous amount of waste, industries like factories, mines, and mills. Moreover, this industrial waste, city waste in the form of garbage containing non-bio degradable materials are also formed within the municipal limits. This makes up one of the biggest pollution offenders for the environment, and it places a […]
Rubber Bitumen
Developed countries in terms of the industry have 9 kg of wasted tires generated per person every year. For instance, in America, there are an estimated amount of 2 to 3 billion of illegal restored scrap tires. In the mean, while the same issue exists in European union but on a larger scale and with […]

The answer is that; this is possible by adding an emulsifier (a surface-active agent) with water before bitumen is added […]
Bitumen Tests
Tests on bitumen There is a variety of criteria for the assessment of the properties of bituminous materials. These are some of the tests that are conducted to evaluate the features of bituminous materials. 1. Ductility test 2. Penetration test 3. Softening point test 4. Specific gravity test 5. Viscosity test 6. Flash and Fire […]
