Bituminous Concrete

Bituminous concrete, commonly known as asphalt concrete, is a durable paving material made from a mixture of aggregate (like gravel and sand) and bitumen, a thick, sticky form of crude oil. It is widely used for constructing roads, parking lots, and airfields due to its strength and flexibility, allowing it to withstand heavy traffic and various weather conditions. The bitumen acts as a binding agent, holding the aggregates together. Bituminous concrete is preferred for its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to be quickly repaved, making it a popular choice in modern road construction.
