Soil with Asphalt Attribute

Soil with an asphalt attribute is a specialized construction material that blends natural soil with asphalt components. This combination enhances the soil's binding properties, making it more stable and durable compared to untreated soil. The asphalt content helps to reduce dust, improve compaction, and increase resistance to water infiltration.

This material is commonly used in road base construction, parking lots, and pathways where a firm, semi-impermeable surface is required. It is also suitable for subgrade improvement in both residential and commercial projects. The addition of asphalt makes the soil less prone to erosion and rutting, providing a longer-lasting foundation. However, it may be less suitable for applications where high permeability or plant growth is desired, as the asphalt can limit water movement and root penetration.
