How Much Bitumen is Used to Build a Kilometre of Road?
This question does not have an easy solution. Influences include the weather, regional climate, make-up of the road base, volume of traffic, type of road, etc.
It should be determined which project type will be used: bitumen spray sealing, asphaltic concrete (AC), or both.
Bitumen content should be decided with regard to asphalt. Every building company has a different approach. The typical bitumen composition for roads is between 3.5% and 5%. So the size of the road should be determined after determining how much bitumen is in the asphalt mixture (For calculating the volume of bitumen in 1 KM road, Width & thickness is needed). The density of asphalt should be determined in the following stage. The typical person can accept 2330 Calculating the amount of bitumen in a kilometre of road, kg/m3.
1) Determine the size (Width and thickness)
2) To calculate the volume of asphalt, multiply the dimensions by 3.
3) Determine the asphalt’s density (2330 or 2450 kg/m3)
4) Determine the asphalt amount using the formula (Density* Volume) Kg/MTon.
5) Determine the amount of bitumen in the mix (3.5–5% in Asphalt).
6) Determine the amount of bitumen by multiplying the amount of asphalt by 3.5%.
