I-asphalt iyona nto ibalulekileyo yokwakha iindlela, kwaye ukuxuba i-asphalt kubaluleke kakhulu. Izityalo zokuxuba i-asphalt zinokuvelisa imixube ye-asphalt, imixube ye-asphalt elungisiweyo, kunye nemixube ye-asphalt enemibala. Le mixube ingasetyenziselwa ukwakhiwa kweendlela, izikhululo zeenqwelo moya, amazibuko, njl.

Izityalo zokuxuba i-asphalt zinokuhlulwa zibe zimbini iintlobo ngokusekelwe kwindlela yokufuduka: iselula kunye nesigxina. Izityalo zokuxuba i-asphalt ehambayo zifanelekile ukwakha iindlela ezisezantsi kunye nokusebenza kwiindlela ezikude kakhulu ngenxa yokuhamba kwazo kunye nokulula. Le ndlela yokusebenza iyonga amandla. Izityalo ezilungisiweyo zokuxuba i-asphalt zifanelekile ukwakhiwa kweendlela eziphezulu, kuba iindlela eziphezulu zifuna ubuninzi bezinto eziphathekayo, kunye nemveliso enkulu yezityalo ezixutywayo ze-asphalt ezidibeneyo zihlangabezana neemfuno zabo, ngoko ukusebenza komsebenzi kunokuphuculwa. Nokuba sisixhobo sokuxuba i-asphalt esihambayo okanye esisisigxina, amacandelo ayo aphambili abandakanya inkqubo yokudibanisa izinto ezibandayo, inkqubo yokomisa, ukuphakamisa izinto ezishushu, ukukhangela, inkqubo yokugcina izinto ezishushu, inkqubo yokulinganisa imitha, inkqubo yokuxuba umxube, ukufudumeza kwe-oyile ye-thermal kunye nenkqubo yokubonelela nge-asphalt, uthuli. inkqubo yokususa, i-silo yokugcina imveliso egqityiweyo, inkqubo yokulawula ngokuzenzekelayo, njl. Izixhobo ezihamba phambili eziphezulu kunye nezixhobo eziphezulu zineempawu eziphawulekayo zokuxuba okufanayo, ukulinganisa okuchanekileyo, ukuveliswa kwemveliso ephezulu, ukukhuselwa kwendalo kunye nokugcinwa kwamandla.
