Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What is the formula for calculating theoretical specific gravity?

A: G_t = (W1 + W2 + W3 + Wb) / (W1/G1 + W2/G2 + W3/G3 + Wb/Gb)
B: G_m = W_m / (W_m – W_w)
C: V_v = (G_t - G_m) / G_t * 100

💡 Hint: Look for the formula that accounts for weights and specific gravities.

Question 2

True or False: The bulk specific gravity value is affected by air voids.

True
False

💡 Hint: Consider how density is impacted by gaps.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate theoretical specific gravity and bulk specific gravity for a mix with weights of 1000g in air and 900g in water.

💡 Hint: Use the specific gravity formulas.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a Marshall mix test gives 500 kg stability with 15% flow - determine if it meets requirements of a minimal 340 stability and appropriate flow.

💡 Hint: Refer back to the specification table.
