Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
