Asphalt vs. Concrete: What a Designer Needs to Know

 

Hard surfaced pavements, which make up about 60% of U.S. roads, are typically categorized into flexible and rigid pavements.

In general, both flexible and rigid pavements can be designed for long life (e.g., in excess of 30 years) as long as they are maintained. Both types have been used for just about every classification of road. Although concrete receives equal consideration, more than 90 percent of America's 2.6 million miles of paved roads are surfaced in asphalt. Certainly there are many different reasons for choosing one type of pavement or the other, some practical, some economical, and some political. This video reviews both asphalt and concrete pavement definitions and why and where to use concrete and asphalt.
