The strength of asphalt depends in part on the materials used in making it. Substandard materials can and often result in failure of the asphalt. The state establishes rules on the materials and method used to produce asphalt for this reason. Otherwise a company could provide asphalt that is substandard to what is required, and save money by cutting corners, while charging the same price.
