Question 3(Bituminous mixture weight-volume calculations)
From laboratory tests, the following results have been obtained.
> Weight of dry compacted specimen in air =1174.4g
> Weight of SSD specimen in air =1177.3g
> Weight of compacted specimen in water =677.2g
> Maximum theoretical specific gravity of mix=2.438
The bulk specific gravities of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and mineral filler are respectively 2.606,2.711 and 2.697. The specific gravity of asphalt is 1.010. The mix composition in percent by weight of total mix is as follows: 6.96% asphalt, 51.45% coarse aggregate, 34.24% fine aggregate, and 7.35% mineral filler. Determine:
(a) Bulk specific gravity of total aggregate
