Question 1

What does the Tensile Strength Ratio test measure?

  • The cost of the mix
  • The strength of the mix after water exposure
  • The temperature stability of the mix

💡 Hint: Consider why water exposure would be important for assessing the mix.

Question 2

True or False: A low TSR value indicates that a pavement mix is highly resistant to moisture damage.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what low values represent in terms of performance.
