An asphalt concrete composition having improved waterproof performance, and a construction method using the composition. The composition includes 100 parts by weight of virgin asphalt, 5 to 25 parts by weight of styrene isoprene styrene, 5 to 15 parts by weight of petroleum resin, 250 to 1,000 parts by weight of reclaimed asphalt pavement, 1 to 10 parts by of a performance improving agent, 250 to 1,000 parts by weight of virgin aggregate, 30 to 150 parts by weight of fine powder aggregate, and 0.1 to 2 parts by weight of cellulose fiber. The composition's waterproof performance is due to its high cohesion and adhesion. The composition is durable and is not easily rutted, aged and/or stripped. In addition, the composition has a performance grade of PG 82-34, can prevent water penetration and potholes, and enables a placement process to be easily performed at low costs.

This disclosure describes formulations and methods for dust control, for example, coal topping, a term which refers to the application of liquid products to the top of coal loads, such as those in open topped coal hopper railcars as commonly used today to transport coal. Disclosed herein are asphalt-based emulsion formulations that accomplish dust control during industrial operations in which dust handling is required.
