Cement is the key ingredient in concrete products. Comprising roughly 12% of the average residential-grade ready mix concrete, cement is the binding agent that holds sand and other aggregates together in a hard, stone-like mass. Portland cement accounts for about 95% of the cement produced in North America.
Increased Durability. Cement concrete roads resist the elements and withstand extreme temperatures, heavy rains, and snowfall. This makes them much more durable than road solutions such as asphalt, tar, and chip pavement. This enhanced durability can minimize the need for frequent maintenance and repairs, which can save time and money.

Nearly 90% of paved roads in the world are made of asphalt mixtures; the remaining 10% are comprised of either Portland cement concrete or composites of hot mix asphalt over Portland cement concrete or vice versa [7].Once most of the paved roads in the world are made of asphalt, this paper will focus on this material.
The cost of a crushed asphalt driveway can vary, but it depends mainly on the material quality. However, the price is about $2 to $5 per square foot on average, while the total cost of the driveway including labor and material costs, can range from $1,200 up to $3,600. Nonetheless, a driveway can be a good investment since they are durable and ...
