Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a Marshall stability of 620 kg, a flow value of 10 mm, and a mix with 5% bitumen content, how would you assess the suitability for high-traffic areas?

💡 Hint: Consider the specifications and compare them to the prescribed limits.

Question 2

If after testing, your phase diagram indicates that increasing the bitumen content to 6% improves stability but also raises flow beyond desirable levels, how would you adjust your mix design strategy?

💡 Hint: Balance is key; always keep the overall performance under review.
