Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly explores the remarkable world of natural bitumens and their varied industrial applications. A valuable historical survey traces their use from ancient Babylonian times through to their prominence in modern construction. The author underscores the significance of various natural asphalts, including the famous rock asphalt used in 19th century European street paving. The book also delves into the development of Trinidad asphalt, ubiquitous in 20th-century American roads, despite controversies over its quality. Yet another focus is petroleum residuum and California malthas, examining their use as asphalt pavement fluxing materials. Throughout, the book emphasizes the complex chemistry and practical challenges of working with these naturally occurring substances, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand and utilize asphalts in construction.
