Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A construction project requires 1000 liters of a bituminous mix. If the specific gravity of bitumen is measured at 1.02, calculate the total mass of bitumen required.
💡 Hint: You’ll need to remember how specific gravity relates to volume and mass.
Assess the implications if the specific gravity of the bitumen used is significantly below the expected range.
💡 Hint: Consider how quality affects longevity in construction materials.
