It is the subject of the present invention to provide a solvent-free ambient-temperature curable composition, excellent in water-resistant adhesion, storage stability and curability, and generates neither smoke nor odor when working therewith. The relevant problem is solved by a curable composition including (A) a natural asphalt and/or petroleum asphalt, (B) a polyoxyalkylene polymer having one or more reactive silicon groups capable of cross-linking by forming siloxane bonds through silanol condensation reaction.
