Question 1

What does gradation in asphalt mix design refer to?

  • The mixture's density
  • The size distribution of aggregates
  • The moisture content

💡 Hint: Consider how the sizes of materials impact the overall mixture.

Question 2

True or False: Proportioning is essential for achieving the correct asphalt mix characteristics.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the importance of getting the correct mix in construction.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have aggregates A, B, and C with the following passing percentages for two sieve sizes: Sieve 1 - A: 100%, B: 80%, C: 70%; Sieve 2 - A: 70%, B: 50%, C: 30%. Establish the equations and solve for x1, x2, and x3 if required proportions are x1 + x2 + x3 = 1 and x1 + 0.8x2 + 0.7x3 = 0.9.

💡 Hint: Start by setting up your equation as discussed and isolate the variables step-by-step.

Question 2

Design a mix using at least four aggregates to meet specified gradation criteria of a construction project, considering a maximum of 2% of a particular aggregate type not exceed the limits.

💡 Hint: Remember to clearly define your aggregate limits and establish your equations based on what's required.
