Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given different percentages of bitumen from 4% to 6%, calculate the amount of bitumen needed for 1000 kg of aggregate for each percentage. Which percentage results in the heaviest mix when aggregates are accounted for?

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate based on total aggregate weight.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where a specific blend fails the stability test but meets the flow test. What adjustments could be suggested in the design process to improve stability?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between binder content, aggregate size, and overall mix robustness.
