How To Calculate Asphalt Quantity For Road
Many people are unable to distinguish between bitumen and asphalt. Although they aren't technically the same, people mistakenly believe that bitumen and asphalt are.
Aggregates, bitumen (the binder), and sand combine to form asphalt. Sand, gravel, crushed rock, or slags can all be used as aggregates in asphalt mix.
On the other hand, bitumen serves as the actual liquid binder that keeps asphalt cohesive. Asphalt is sometimes wrongly referred to as bitumen.
Asphalt finds extensive application in the construction and upkeep of several road types, including local roads, driveways, parking lots, intercity and intracity routes, and pavements. In a later post, I will go over the differences between bitumen and asphalt in brief.

Here, I'll go over how to figure out how much asphalt will cost and how much is needed for a certain road project. You just need basic data because the calculation is quite simple.
Suppose,
Road length = L = five km = 5000 m
Road width = W = six metres
Asphalt thickness = H = 15 cm = 0.15 m
The asphalt calculation's quantity.
Asphalt volume = L x W x H = 5000 x Six x 0.15 = 4500 m^
Here, 2330 kg/m3 is used as the asphalt's density.
As a result, quantity of asphalt equals volume of asphalt times density of asphalt.
= 10485000 kg = 10485 tonnes × 4500 x 2330
The price of the asphalt
Assume that one tonne of asphalt costs 6000 rupees.
The asphalt's cost is equal to 10485 x 6000 = 62910000 rs.
The QTY of asphalt on a Curved road
Suppose,
Road width = W = six metres
Asphalt thickness = H = 15 cm = 0.15 m
The curve road's length is equal to (π x R x θ)/180, or 3.14 x 10 x 100)/180, or 17.44 metres.
The curving road's asphalt volume is equal to its length, width, and thickness.
The formula is L x W x H = 17.44 x Six x 0.15 = 15.696 m3.
Volume of asphalt times density of asphalt equals the quantity of asphalt needed for a curved road.
36558 kg, or 15.69 x 2330, equals 36.55 tonnes.
Cost of Asphalt: Assume that one tonne of asphalt costs 6000 rupees.
The asphalt's cost is 36.55 x 6000, or 219300 rs.
Take note,
Since the area you're estimating in this instance has an uneven shape, break it into multiple portions with regular shapes. Then, use the above procedure to calculate each section's volume and asphalt requirements. Add them all together at the end.
