2. Bituminous waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bituminous_waterproofing

   Bituminous waterproofing systems are designed to protect residential and commercial buildings. Bitumen (asphalt or coal-tar pitch) is a material made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky, viscous , and waterproof. [ 1 ]

3. Binder (material) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binder_(material)

   In building construction, concrete uses cement as a binder. Asphalt pavement uses bitumen binder. Traditionally straw and natural fibres are used to strengthen clay in wattle-and-daub construction and in the building material cob which would otherwise become brittle after drying. Sand is added to improve compressive strength, hardness and ...

4. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

   Filler can have a negative or positive effect on fatigue resistance depending on the filler type and shape. In general fillers create small discontinuities in the matrix. This can contribute to crack initiation point. If the filler is brittle fatigue resistance will be low, whereas if the filler is very ductile the composite will be fatigue ...

5. Coal combustion products - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_combustion_products

   Asphalt concrete is a composite material consisting of an asphalt binder and mineral aggregate commonly used to surface roads. Both Class F and Class C fly ash can typically be used as a mineral filler to fill the voids and provide contact points between larger aggregate particles in asphalt concrete mixes.

6. Asphalt concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt_concrete

   Asphalt batch mix plant A machine laying asphalt concrete, fed from a dump truck. Asphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt, [1] blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac or bitumen macadam in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, airports, and the core of embankment dams.

8. Pitch (resin) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_(resin)

   Natural bitumen pitch, from the tar pit above the McKittrick Oil Field, Kern County, California. Pitch is a viscoelastic polymer which can be natural or manufactured, derived from petroleum, coal tar, [1] or plants. Pitch produced from petroleum may be called bitumen or asphalt, while plant-derived pitch, a resin, is known as rosin in its solid ...

9. Chipseal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipseal

   The introduction of polymer-modified bitumen and emulsion binder has increased chipseal's ability to prevent crack reflection and improve stone retention by improving the properties of the bitumen binder. Newer techniques use asphalt emulsion (a mixture of liquid asphalt, surfactant, and water) instead of asphalt. This has been shown to help ...
