Question 1

What does G_t represent in Marshall Mix Design?

  • A measure of air voids
  • Theoretical specific gravity
  • Bulk specific gravity

💡 Hint: It’s the gravity that relates to the mixture's theoretical density.

Question 2

True or False: G_m includes the air voids in the mixture.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how G_m differs from G_t.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the specific gravities 2.65 for coarse aggregate, 2.50 for fine aggregate, and 1.03 for bitumen; what would be the G_t for a mix with weights 900g, 1300g, 150g?

💡 Hint: Make sure to check your weights against specific gravities.

Question 2

In a mix with 30% air voids and the volume of bitumen calculated as 18%, what is the VMA?

💡 Hint: Just a simple addition to find total voids.
