Talk:Asphalt concrete
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the article "Asphalt paving" (which has been merged with this article), there was a statement, "The ancient Chaldeans used asphalt paving inside buildings as a flooring." There was confusion between asphalt paving and tarmac in the asphalt paving article, so I left out the Chaldean refrence until someone can confirm whether their process used asphalt or tar. Also, there is no mention of this in the Chaldea article. -SCEhardt 16:23, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Almost certainly asphalt as Chaldea is in an oil producing region. I would be surprised to see such a use of tar before the mid 1800s, when it became an industrial waste product. Before that tar would have been specifically manufactured for that use, which seems unlikely. Most tars get sticky above 100 F which would also make them unsuitable for that use.

It would be interesting to learn more about the history of the technology, and the reasons why it has changed. -- Beland 00:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Superpave redirects here, but this article doesn't seem to talk at all about superpave mix design. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Notthe9 (talk • contribs) 16:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Cutback asphalt illegal?
The article states that cutback asphalt is illegal in the U.S. This isn't true. It may be banned in particular jurisdictions, but I know for sure that's legal in at least one State (New York)Psychlist 18:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed the statements about legality since they were uncited. -SCEhardT 19:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
