Asphalt (also known as bitumen) is a strong, versatile, weather-resistant, and chemical-resistant material, which adapts itself to a variety of uses. Asphalt binds gravel and crushed stone (commonly known as aggregate) into firm and tough surfaces for roads, streets, and airport runways.Asphalt (combination of binder, filler, and aggregates) is principally used for the pavement of roads, sports areas, and parking areas. The majority of asphalt that is available commercially is a by-product of petroleum. However, asphalt is also

available naturally in concentrated form.
