Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A city in a tropical climate experiences high temperatures during summer. Discuss the ideal properties of bitumen that should be used for road construction in this location and why.
💡 Hint: Think about materials used in extreme climates.
Suppose a softening point test on a specific bitumen grade resulted in a temperature of 60°C. What implications does this have for using this bitumen in a northern climate with freezing winters?
💡 Hint: What happens to materials in very cold versus very hot conditions?
