Question 1

What is the purpose of applying stability correction?

  • To adjust measured values to standard thickness
  • To reduce the thickness
  • To decrease stability

💡 Hint: Consider the role of specimen thickness in stability.

Question 2

True or False: A correction factor of 1.00 indicates that no correction is needed.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what happens if the thickness is correct.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A series of Marshall specimens are prepared at different heights. Specimen A (70 mm; stability 480 kg), Specimen B (63.5 mm; stability 520 kg), and Specimen C (66 mm; stability 500 kg). Compute the corrected stabilities and discuss any implications for the mix design.

💡 Hint: Look for the proper correction factors from the table.

Question 2

Imagine you're presenting stability results in a report. Specimen D had a measured stability of 620 kg but was 72 mm thick. Determine the correction factor and discuss how that affects overall mix performance.

💡 Hint: Use the correction factor appropriate for 72 mm to see the adjustment.
