Educational reference. Mix selection, binder grade and laying temperatures follow the specification and the standard.

Who is the Bituminous Materials poster for?

Bituminous Materials belongs to the Civil Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning civil materials can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Bituminous Materials poster?

Choosing a surfacing, or working out why one is rutting or ravelling. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Bituminous Materials belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Bituminous Materials?

Aggregates, Cement Types and Curing sit alongside Bituminous Materials in the Civil Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AggregatesCement TypesCuring

Is the Bituminous Materials poster free to download and print?

Yes. Bituminous Materials downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Civil Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Bituminous Materials poster print at?

Bituminous Materials is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Bituminous Materials loses nothing.Printing guide
