Unfortunately this depends on many things.

An asphaltic highway will vary in construction depending on countless factors.

Firth you will need to design your highway makeup.

for a surface course and binder I'd say 100mm is about normal

the base (if asphaltic and not another unbound or bound material) about 400mm (depending on foundation design)

the subbase will need to be design but would normally not be asphaltic

So say you have 0.5m of asphaltic material depth. Multiply this by the width of the width of the road to give you an area .

0.5 x width of road

As a very very loose guide of the density of asphalt take (it vary greatly depending on aggregate, penetration etc.)

2200kg/m3

10168000kg divided by density will give you the volume

10168000/2200 = 4622 m3

4622 m3 / (0.5m x width of road m) = very approximate length of road

i.e 4622m3 /(0.5 x 7m)= 1.3km for a single carriageway two lane road at 7m width

A yard of concrete weighs two tons, so 28 yards is 56 tons.


How much can asphalt haulers carry?

Asphalt haulers typically have a capacity ranging from 10 to 20 tons, depending on the truck size and configuration. Standard dump trucks used for asphalt can generally carry about 12 to 15 tons per load. However, larger vehicles, such as tri-axle trucks, can transport up to 20 tons or more. It's essential for haulers to adhere to weight limits set by local regulations to ensure safe transport.


How many yards of crushed concrete do you need for a 150'x12' driveway?

Crushed concrete is sold by the ton. One dumptruck will haul between 13 and 15 tons. Your driveway should take around 30 tons if covered 4" thick.


How many meter a ton of asphalt cover?

It of course depends on the depth. An old rule of thumb is one ton will cover one square yard (3'x3') at 18 inch depth. Of course we don't place it 18 inches deep very often. But if you divide 18 by the number of inches you do plan to lay, it will tell you how many square yards can be covered. For example, at 3" depth, divide 18 by 3 = 6 square yards will be covered. Another way is to calculate the volume you are covering in cubic feet such as 15 feet by 50 feet by 3 inches (0.25'), = total cubic feet. Then divide totl cubic feet by 150 (apprx. wt per cubuc foot of asphalt)=TONS NEEDED

How many tons are in a yard of asphalt?

Asphalt installation is usually bid by the square yard, the installer will buy asphalt by the ton, and it will be delivered in a truck measured in cubic yards. Therefore, a volume/weight/area ratio is required. In short, an estimator will typically assume that one square yard of compacted asphalt laid one inch deep will weigh approximately 111 pounds.
