Question: Q 3 : The aggregate mix used for the design of an asphalt mixture consists of 4 2 % coarse aggregates, 5 1 % fine

Q3: The aggregate mix used for the design of an asphalt mixture consists of 42% coarse aggregates, 51% fine aggregates, and 7% mineral fillers. If the respective bulk specific gravities of these materials are 2.60,2.71, and 2.69, and the effective specific gravity of the aggregates is 2.82. The asphalt content is 6.0% with a specific gravity of 1.02. The Marshall specimen was weighted in air, SSD, and submerged in water. The respective weights are 1330.1g,1633.1g, and 799.3g. Determine if the experimental results are within the Iraqi specification for roads andbridges. Then, Find the absorbed asphalt
