Asphalt Tonnage — Roundabout
Mix tonnage and truckloads for a roundabout from dimensions, lift and density.
Circular paving fights geometry: the inner radius travels slower than the outer edge, screws torture the mat, and handwork at splitter islands multiplies. Tonnage is the easy part — enter the developed (centreline) length and let the waste factor absorb the rest.
Formula
Note: Paving estimates only — the project mix design, agency specification and the plant's QC data govern. Temperature models are simplified; verify with an infrared gun and density gauge on the mat.

About Asphalt Tonnage — Roundabout
Asphalt Tonnage — Roundabout computes the governing relationship t = L·W·h·ρ × (1 + waste) live as you type. Circular paving fights geometry: the inner radius travels slower than the outer edge, screws torture the mat, and handwork at splitter islands multiplies. Tonnage is the easy part — enter the developed (centreline) length and let the waste factor absorb the rest. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Asphalt Tonnage — Roundabout
- 1Enter your values — Developed centreline length, Width, Compacted thickness, Compacted density and more (sensible defaults are pre-filled).
- 2Read the live results: Mix required, Truckloads, Area.
- 3Check the "with your numbers" line to see t = L·W·h·ρ × (1 + waste) substituted step by step.
- 4Adjust inputs until the scenario matches yours, then copy or share the result.
Why use Asphalt Tonnage — Roundabout?
- ✓Instant, free and private — every calculation runs client-side in your browser; nothing is uploaded
- ✓Built on the stated formula t = L·W·h·ρ × (1 + waste) with authoritative sources cited on the page (NAPA — HMA paving handbook & best practices)
- ✓Circular paving fights geometry: the inner radius travels slower than the outer edge, screws torture the mat, and handwork at splitter islands multiplies.
- ✓SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts your inputs in place, so you can work in the units your drawings use
Frequently asked questions
What formula does the asphalt tonnage — roundabout use?+
It evaluates t = L·W·h·ρ × (1 + waste), exactly as published. Sources: NAPA — HMA paving handbook & best practices. The substituted worked example on the page lets you verify every step against the textbook.
How should I read the result — and how far can I trust it?+
Circular paving fights geometry: the inner radius travels slower than the outer edge, screws torture the mat, and handwork at splitter islands multiplies. Paving estimates only — the project mix design, agency specification and the plant's QC data govern. Temperature models are simplified; verify with an infrared gun and density gauge on the mat.
When is this calculator the right tool for the job?+
Mix tonnage and truckloads for a roundabout from dimensions, lift and density. A free asphalt paving temperature & logistics tool. Tonnage is the easy part — enter the developed (centreline) length and let the waste factor absorb the rest. For neighbouring scenarios, the related tools below cover the same engine with different presets.
Does it support both metric and imperial units?+
Yes — the SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts the values already in the fields, preserving the physical quantity, so you can flip mid-calculation without re-entering anything.
