In essence, glassphalt is an asphalt concrete with a portion of the gravel aggregates replaced by glass cullet.")
    • found: Wikipedia, July 7, 2006(Glassphalt is a variety of asphalt that uses crushed glass. It has been used as an alternative to conventional bituminous asphalt pavement since the early 1970s. Glassphalt must be properly mixed and placed if it is to meet roadway pavement standards, requiring some modifications to generally accepted asphalt procedures.)
    • found: Preparation and placement of glassphalt, via WWW, July 10, 2006(Glassphalt is basically the same as conventional hot-mix asphalt, except that some percentage of the natural aggregate is replaced with crushed glass. The glass must be properly cleaned and crushed, and combined with the natural aggregate, preserving agents, and bitumen in their specified proportions. The glassphalt is then placed and compacted.)
