Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a mix with W m = 2000g and W w = 1900g, calculate G m and discuss the implications if the calculated G m is significantly high.
💡 Hint: Analyze the relationship between density and voids.
Design a scenario with varying G m values (low, medium, high) and predict their impact on pavement life. Justify each case.
💡 Hint: Use examples from real-world applications to illustrate your points.
