What is difference between Asphalt and Bitumen?
The maximum degree of curve or smallest radius for a railroad is 3 degrees on a new main line track with a maximum grade of 1% compensated at 0.04% per degree of curve; therefore a grade in a 3 degree curve would actually be 0.88%. For a highway it depends on what kind, where, typical traffic, speedRead more
The maximum degree of curve or smallest radius for a railroad is 3 degrees on a new main line track with a maximum grade of 1% compensated at 0.04% per degree of curve; therefore a grade in a 3 degree curve would actually be 0.88%. For a highway it depends on what kind, where, typical traffic, speed limits, etc. Degree of curve is the angle between the radii of a curve of a 100 foot chord which is chord definition. Highway departments usually use Degree of Curve as the angle between the radii of a curve of an arc of 100 feet. For curves 3 degrees or under, the difference between the definitions staked on the ground is inconsequential.

In simple words, bitumen is a liquid that binds together asphalt. Asphalt-It is a mixture prepared by adding aggregates(sand, gravel, slag, crushed rocks) with appropriate binders like bitumen. Then it is laid down on-site to a decided level or thickness by a paving machine. Bitumen- This is the heaRead more

Bitumen- This is the heavy semi-solid hydrocarbon produced by the distillation of crude oil.
