How many tons of asphalt are in a yard of asphalt?

In: Units of Measure, Civil Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

Asphalt installation is usually bid by the square yard, the installer will buy asphalt by the ton, and it will be delivered in a truck measured in cubic yards. Therefore, a volume/weight/area ratio is required. In short, an estimator will typically assume that one square yard of compacted asphalt laid one inch deep will weigh approximately 111 pounds.
