History of the use of asphalt was started thousands of years BC by the Sumerians and Mesopotamia.
They use asphalt (bitumen) as a sealing layer to the tub and the water pools in the palaces and temples.
Asphalt binder used is obtained naturally.
Asphalt is present in nature in the form of asphalt lake (like lunkhead) and rock asphalt (usually hard, a mixture of asphalt, soil, chalk, and clay).
The first recorded use of asphalt as a road construction material, occurred in Babylon circa 625 BC during the reign of King Naboppolassar as recorded in the inscription legacy. The term asphalt comes from the ancient Greek asphaltos, then the Romans turned it into asphaltus, then adapted into English as asphalt, and we are translating into Indonesian into asphalt. Centuries later after the Babylonian era, Sir Walter Raleigh wrote in his notes (in 1595) about the discovery of deposits asphalt lake in Trinidad, near the coast of Venezuela.
He uses such as asphalt coatings vessel wall. History of the use of asphalt for road construction in the modern age can be traced back during the 18th century.
A British engineer named John Metcalf (born 1717) had to build a network of roads in Yorkshire with a total length of nearly 300 km.
Road made with large rocks laid down a solid foundation, then on it was given a stone quarry, then a layer of gravel cover.
Thomas Telford building roads in Scotland in the year 1803-1821 along nearly 1,500 miles.
Telford perfected a method of making roads Metcalf, by replacing the broken stone quarried rock.
Crushed stone layer thickness has also been calculated based on the character of the traffic will traverse. John Metcalf At the same time, John Loudon McAdam separately build roads entrance to Scotland similar to the way Telford.
McAdam also find land that shipped in the dry state will not go down to the bottom of the road.
McAdam rock set such that the angle between the meeting and forming a strong surface / hard.
In the subsequent periods, the improved construction methods to reduce road dust in the dry season doused by hot tar. This method is called by the layer tarmacadam. John Loudon McAdam in 1870 New mix asphalt used for road construction, which is done by a Belgian chemist, named Edmund J.
Desmedt, when building the road in front of city hall Newark, New Jersey, USA. Mixture used was sand and natural asphalt from Trinidad.
Satisfactory results make the contractor immediately utilize asphalt road builders as a construction material in road construction projects were undertaken. Hot mix asphalt deployment of the 18th century At this time, the use of asphalt hot mix produced and mixed specification has not been used as we know it today.
Because of road construction projects that use asphalt began to rise a lot, to maintain quality of the good results, the City of New York only requires the use of brick or stone granite, but with a 15-year warranty for materials and execution. Because contractors are still limited knowledge, many roads that can not last for 15 years, and as a result many were bankrupt contractor.
A further consequence of road projects next to the price increases to compensate for a 15-year warranty. Until the 1900s, almost all asphalt used came from Trinidad natural asphalt.
On the other hand, from the discovery of many oil wells make the development of refineries (refinery) and more and more widespread.
Of the operation of the asphalt plant was also produced.
Finally, in 1907 produced bitumen from refineries has shifted the use of Trinidad natural asphalt, because asphalt refineries cheaper price
