| Driveway Industry Glossary
of Terms |
|
|
| A.D.A.: The Americans with Disabilities Act. This comprehensive federal act was passed to ensure uniform compliance with standards for the benefit of those with disabilities. Its scope encompasses everything from the width of doorways and force required to open them to the use of Braille in elevators to assist the visually impaired. Most common in relation to pavement are the standards for disabled parking, access aisles, curb ramps, signage and markings etc. Some states and municipalities also have laws which regulate proper accessibility for the disabled. |
| Accelerators: Material additives used to accelerate, or reduce, the setting time of concrete causing it to harden faster. |
| ADA Compliance Services: Provide all necessary services for handicap code compliance, from ramps to signs and striping. |
| Aerated concrete: Concrete that is formed using gas forming admixtures that form hydrogen or oxygen bubbles in the cement mix. |
| Aggregate: A mixture of sand, rock, crushed stone, expanded materials, or particles that improve the formation and flow of cement paste and improve the concrete's structural performance. |
| Air content: The volume of air present in a concrete or mortar mix. A controlled air content prevents concrete from cracking during the freeze/thaw cycle. |
| Asphalt: A brownish black solid or semisolid mixture of bituminous obtained from native deposits or as a petroleum byproduct, used in paving. When heated to the temperature of boiling, it becomes able to be poured. Asphalt should not be confused with tar, a similar looking substance made from coal or wood and incompatible with petroleum derivatives. |
| Asphalt mix: Amounts of sand stone & stone sizes that are used to create different mix strengths. Many names are given to the various types and the names may vary from state to state or country to country but in general they differ by the amount of sand & stone. |
| Asphalt Grinding: Is used to remove damaged asphalt or to prepare an existing surface for an overlay. The ground asphalt makes an excellent base material. It can also be recycled into new asphalt. |
| Asphalt Pulverizing: Pulverizing is the process of breaking up your existing asphalt into a gravel, and blend this "new" gravel with your existing base which is compacted, graded, compacted again, at which time it is ready for paving. Pulverizing is a very cost effective way to reconstruct your existing pavement. This process eliminates the expensive excavation and trucking of your existing asphalt, and as a significant bonus, adds to your base aggregate thickness, thereby giving you a stronger base than what had existed previously. |
| Asphalt resurfacing: The process of placing more asphalt over the existing asphalt or concrete. Sometimes called an asphalt overlay. |
| Ballast: A layer of coarse stone, gravel, slag, etc., over which concrete is placed. |
| Base: A prepared gravel foundation for masonry, concrete, brick, pavers or asphalt applications. |
| Binder: a rough mixture with large amounts of 1¾" - ½" stone used as a base course which is placed on gravel and provides a foundation for a finish course of asphalt. It also provides strength and durability to the end product. Should be used any time asphalt is used for parking or traffic. |
| Bituminous Pavement: Bituminous pavements are made with by-products of petroleum, such as asphalt. Weather and seasonal changes can cause roadways and the earth below them to rise or fall slightly. As these natural shifts occur, bituminous pavements allow the road surface to bend or flex slightly without breaking. |
| Bituminous Materials: Bituminous material softens when heated and can be prepared and applied in a wide range of concentrations. Thin layers of bituminous material are sometimes applied with a pressure sprayer to the base course or the top course. The bituminous material seeps into the crushed rock and penetrates the tiny spaces between the compacted rocks, binding the aggregate together. To provide traction for moving traffic, a thin layer of aggregate may then be spread over the bituminous material and compacted. |
| Blacktop: Common "slang" term for asphalt. However this term should not be used in requesting any specifications or work as the term is widely used with various meanings in different areas. For example sometimes "blacktop" is used to refer to a penetration pavement or hot oil treatment or even sealcoating. |
| Blanket: Insulation used for protecting fresh concrete during curing. |
| Calcium chloride: An additive used in ready mix to accelerate the curing, usually used during damp conditions. |
| Casting: Pouring a liquid material, or slurry, like concrete, into a mold to form a physical form it will take on as it solidifies. |
| Cement: A building material made by grinding calcite limestone and clay to a fine powder which can be mixed with water and poured to set as a solid mass. Also used in making mortar or concrete. |
| Coal Tar: Coal tar is a common ingredient used in the production of pavement sealer due to chemical and UV resistance properties. |
| Coal Tar Emulsion: A pavement sealer consisting of coal tar, water, emulsifiers, and filler designed to protect and beautify asphalt pavement. Coal tar also provides oil and gasoline resistance. |
| Cold Planning: Typically removes 1" to 4" of surface asphalt or 1" - 2" of concrete allowing for the application of a thin overlay or wearing surface which preserves ancillary structures (e.g. curb and gutter) but allows improvements to the grade and surface of the pavement section. When used for full roadway reconstruction, cold planning is also capable of removing up to 12 inches of paving material and base in a single pass. |
| Compaction: Usually accomplished by static rolling or vibratory rolling equipment on newly placed gravel and asphalt to maximize practical strength, to compress within compressible limits and to eliminate voids and create base strength. The most important step of any paving project. |
| Concrete: A hard, strong building material created by combining a mineral (which is usually sand, gravel, or crushed stone) a binding agent (natural or synthetic cement), chemical additives, and water. It is an excellent material to be used in road building. |
| Concrete resurfacing: Process of applying a thin layer of varies materials over existing concrete. Modified polymers, polyesters or epoxy's are used as well as specialized coatings. |
| Concrete sealing: Term used to apply sealer to concrete products. Concrete becomes less permeable by sealing pores. Sealing concrete products can prevent discoloration and unwanted staining. |
| Concrete staining: Concrete does not have to be gray anymore! Concrete can be stained in a wide variety of color choices. |
| Consolidation: Compaction usually accomplished by vibration of newly placed concrete to minimum practical volume, to mold it within form shapes and around embedded parts and reinforcement, and to eliminate voids other than entrained air. |
| Crack filling: Term used to fill unwanted cracks in surfaces to prevent water penetration and further erosion. |
| Crack Sealing Roads: Crack Sealing is the process where the street cracks are sealed using a Polymer Modified AC-20 liquid (AC-20 can also contain crumb rubber recycled tires), and other types of Crack Sealing products. The sealing prevents water infiltration into the road base, thus preventing potholes. The current method used for the crack sealing roads is called Well Filling. This method fills the void of the crack in road surfaces; little or no material is placed on the actual road. A minimum 1 inch depth, and 1/2 inch width is needed to use the Well Fill method. This is a cost effective way of extending road life. |
| Driveway top: a smooth finish course with smaller amounts of ½" - ¼" stone placed on top of a binder course less porous and more pleasant in appearance usually used on driveways |
| Elasticity: The ability of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched. |
| Emulsion: Mechanically produced combination of ingredients which do not normally mix. For example, asphalt emulsions are made by a procedure which mechanically mills the warm asphalt into minute globules, dispersing them in water, and adding a small amount of an emulsifying agent. Most of today's "asphalt oils" as well as sealcoatings for parking areas driveways, and roadways use emulsions because they are far more environmentally friendly than older formulas that contained solvents. Sometimes pertains to a water based product. A pavement sealer containing water. A product that cleans up with soap and water. |
| Fabric Overlays: Provide a waterproof membrane to protect the base, and will also retard reflective cracking. |
| Grading: The surfacing or leveling of the ground or pitching for drainage. |
| Gravel: (non processed) The principle paving material, and in all probability the oldest paving material. It is of course important to select a high quality paving gravel. River washed round gravel is soft and not as compact able as most processed gravel's (see processed gravel). Sharp stone gravel in a range of stone sizes self binds to form a smooth and stable surface. Natural or riverbank gravel's can have a wide variety of stone sizes but also have less compact ability. |
| H.M.A.C.: Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete. Abbreviation of the proper name for what is commonly referred to as "asphalt", "hot-mix", "blacktop" etc. This term should always be used in specifying asphalt pavement work to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation of the material desired. H.M.A.C. is produced in many different grades from coarse base mixes to specialized mixes for surfacing and repair. In most instances the grades are specified according to state department of transportation guidelines. |
| Insulating Material: A material that reduces or prevents the transmission of heat or sound or electricity. |
| Landscaping timbers: Pressure treated wood cut and prepared for use as outdoor building material. Generally come in 8' - 16' lengths and vary in thickness from 4" - 10" widths. Also known as railroad ties. |
| Ledge: A Projection of rock, ore, or granite that may be associated with a vein of non porous elements not suitable for drainage. |
| Linestriping: Line Striping assists your visitors in the safe use of your parking lot. It directs traffic to the proper route of entrance and exit, allowable areas to park, loading zones, crosswalks, and defines drive aisles that are wide enough to avoid accidents with cars and pedestrians. Properly designed parking spaces also maximize the number of cars you can safely accommodate. |
| Loam: Top Soil or Soil used to grow crops, lawns or vegetables highly rich in nutrients or compose for plant growth. |
| Micro resurfacing: Micro resurfacing is the application of a Polymer Modified Emulsion Base. The entire road surface is overlaid (the material is placed over top of the existing asphalt surface of the street) with a 1/2 to 3/4 inch of material. The depth of material placed on the street is determined by the condition of the existing road surface. If the road surface is in fair condition a 1/2 inch of material is used. If the surface is in poor condition 3/4 inch of material is used. |
| Pavers: A man made brick of solid concrete (usually compressed) used as a decorative driveway, walkway or patio. They come in many colors & shapes and can create a variety of design patterns. |
| Paving: Lying of concrete, asphalt or any driveway materials. |
| Processed gravel: Man-made gravel with controlled amounts of clay, sand & stone. Stone size is also controlled making it a good base for driveways. Natural or riverbank gravel's can have a wide variety of stone sizes, which make them less consistent than processed gravel. |
| Railroad ties: Pressure treated wood cut and prepared for use as outdoor building material. Generally come in 8' - 16' lengths and vary in thickness from 4" - 10" widths also called Landscaping timbers. |
| R.A.P. Recycled asphalt product: A low cost material because it is a secondary product made from recycled waste concrete & asphalt, and when it requires replacement it can be recycled again any number of times. It also features good economic efficiency as a product that makes use of resource recycling technology. As a recycled gravel material it is making an invaluable contribution to the construction industry and the global environmentally friendly recycling society. (sometimes called blend) |
| Re-bar: A formed steel rod used to reinforce concrete. |
| Road top: state specified finish as required in local or state jurisdictions. Generally, more stone, and larger stone sizes, which create a stronger finish. Generally used on roads & highways. |
| Sand mix: used for curbing applications very smooth appearance and very few stone. |
| Sealcoating: Process of applying a protective coating to asphalt pavement. Primarily used on driveways, and parking areas, this coating protects asphalt from the damaging effects of petroleum products. It also fills surface cracks to prevent water from entering and damaging the base material. Sealcoating protects and extends the life of asphalt and its deep black smooth appearance is visually appealing as well. It also means that the driveway does not need to undergo reconstruction as often. |
| Sidewalk top: very little stone extra smooth finish for foot traffic and playing court applications |
| Slurry: A thin mixture of a liquid, especially water, and any of several finely divided substances, such as cement, plaster of Paris, or clay particles. The mixture is used for pumping or for wash over a surface. |
| Squeegee: A rubber blade Applicator with a long handle designed for spreading driveway sealer. |
| StreetPrint®: A proprietary decorative process in which steel templates in a variety of patterns are "imprinted" into hot asphalt pavement during the final compaction phase. A specialized colored sealer is then applied to give the appearance of brick, stone, or the particular pattern. An increasingly popular method of giving a custom appearance to asphalt pavements. |
| Striping: Striping assists your visitors in the safe use of your parking lot. It directs traffic to the proper route of entrance and exit, allowable areas to park, loading zones, crosswalks, and defines drive aisles that are wide enough to avoid accidents with cars and pedestrians. Properly designed parking spaces also maximize the number of cars you can safely accommodate. ADA Compliance Services Provide all necessary services for handicap code compliance, from ramps to signs and striping. |
| Wire mess: Wire used to reinforce concrete usually comes in a roll and is cut to fit and placed on gravel before concrete is poured, wire fencing can also be used. |
