concrete oil to the granules, aggregate, rejuvenating oil and
emulsifier; (f) evenly applying the material mixture of
asphalt concrete oil, granules, aggregate, rejuvenating oil
and emulsifier to the surface to be paved; and (g) evenly
applying compaction to the applied material mixture.
Gaudio discloses a particulated asphalt composition
comprised generally of roughage, asphalt particulate and
solvent.
Gaudio teaches that the roughage is formed from rubble
comprised of crushed concrete, asphalt pavement, sand and/or
stone, or any combination thereof. The roughage is crushed
and screened to a gradient size ranging from 1/4" minus to 2"
minus and
preferably sized to approximately 5/8" minus gradient. The
roughage then can be heated to eliminate moisture, although
cold process preparation is viable at ambient temperatures
exceeding 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Asphalt, the second
component of the present invention, then is granulated into
asphalt particulate. This is achieved by processing the
asphalt through size reduction
