Plot Diagram with labels and sample test labels

Specifications call for a fill dry density of 114 pcf and further require that the fill be compacted at optimum water content for the field compactive effort. For the following field density test results on a fill, explain how you alter the field placement operation:

  1. ?d = 115 pcf ; ? = 12.5 percent

  1. ?d = 112.5 pcf ; ? = 13.5 percent

  1. ?d = 110 pcf ; ? = 14.5 percent

  1. ?d = 111 pcf; ? = 17.3 percent

In a quality control test for pavement construction, the engineer cut out a core of the asphalt mix. Laboratory tests were conducted on the core to determine the volumetric properties of the mix. The dry mass of the core is 1200 g, the saturated surface dry mass is 1202.5 g and the submerged mass is 691.9 g. The engineer separated the bitumen from aggregate and found that the dry mass of the aggregate was 1132.8g. The specific gravity of bitumen is 1.05 and the percentage of bitumen absorption is 0.5%. The aggregate bulk specific gravity is 2.76, determine the following:


a) bulk specific gravity of the compacted mix


b) Effective specific Gravity aggregates


c) max theoretical specific gravity of asphalt mix


d) percentage by mass of effective binder content


e) percentage of air voids in the total mix


f) pencetage of voids in the mineral aggregates
