7.3.7. Stripping Value Test

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the purpose of the Stripping Value Test?

   Hint

   Think about the materials used in road construction.

2. 2.

   What is the acceptable stripping percentage?

   Hint

   Remember the threshold for good adhesion.

3. 3.

   What is the maximum acceptable percentage of stripping in the Stripping Value Test?

   • 20%
   • 25%
   • 30%

   Hint

   This is a critical threshold for testing adhesion.

4. 4.

   True or False: The Stripping Value Test helps determine how well bitumen adheres to aggregates.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the main objective of the test.

5. 5.

   Design a study to compare two types of aggregates based on their stripping values. What variables would you consider?

   Hint

   Think about factors that could affect adhesion.

6. 6.

   A testing lab found 28% stripping in their aggregates. Discuss what actions might be taken to address this issue.

   Hint

   Focus on ways to enhance bitumen-aggregate bonding.
