What is Asphalt?
Asphalt is a dark brown to black cementitious
1. Asphalt
1.1 Origin of Asphalt
Three Theories
1. Organic (Peckham, Maberry)
- Bitumen is a product of distillation and secondary
decomposition of organic material
2. Inorganic (Berthelot, Mendeleev)
- Hydrocarbons were formed by the action of water
on metallic carbides which condenses and polymerizes
to form petroleum
3. Indigenous (Hunt, Orton, Lesley)
- Bitumen is indigenous to the strata
Modern knowledge is in favor of the organic origin theory,
ascribing large number of different compounds found in
petroleum and asphalt to the anaerobic degradation of
organic material, both plant and animal, buried under heavy
layers of sediment.
