An asphalt core was extracted from a paving project. The following measurements were obtained in the field. Weight dry in air = 1298.37 gm. Weight submerged in water = 778.94 gm. Required % asphalt in project = 5.8% Find: a. Bulk unit weight of asphalt mix b. Weight of asphalt and aggregates in this core c. % asphalt by weight of aggregate in this core Based on the information given: P,, P, & P. = Percent by Mass of Each Aggregate in Blend G, G, & G = Bulk Specific Gravity of Each Aggregate G, = 2.690 G, = 2.715 G= 2.725 P = 55% P, = 15% P = 30% Find: a. Bulk Specific Gravity of the Combined Aggregate - G. An asphalt core was extracted from a paving project. The following measurements were obtained in the field. Weight dry in air = 1298.37 gm.
