Include the following test result and discussion:
The specific gravities and weight proportions for aggregates and bitumen at certain asphalt content are given in the table below, assuming the asphalt absorption is zero. Find the air voids, volume of the bitumen, voids in mineral aggregates, and the voids filled with asphalt. Weight of the sample in the water is 1470 gm.
Component | Coarse aggregate | Fine aggregate | Filters | Bitumen |
Weight (gm) | 2030 | 320 | 150 | 100 |
Specific gravity | 2.55 | 2.45 | 2.44 | 1.05 |
