:Sounds good to me. In my practice, we call it "asphaltic concrete" on paper, because we're not preparing designs to pave roads with pure bitumen. But nobody else is going to look for "asphaltic concrete". [[User:Anthony Argyriou|Anthony Argyriou]] 22:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC) |

Reason for renaming
Asphalt is the term used throughout most of the petroleum industry as the tar produced in petroleum refineries. Many dictionaries have two definitions: (1) the tar produced in refineries and (2) the paving material known as asphalt.
For that reason, I put on my editor hat and renamed the Asphalt article as Asphalt (paving). And I will subsequently create a new article named Asphalt (petroleum) as well as a DAB page. Milton Beychok 22:22, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
