Question 4:
(20 Points)
You are provided with the gradation data for three aggregate sources as shown in the table below:
\begin{tabular}{cccc}
\begin{tabular}{c}
Sieve Size \\
(mm)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Aggregate Source A (\%\\
Passing)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Aggregate Source B (\%\\
Passing)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Aggregate Source C (\%\\
Passing)
\end{tabular}\\
19.0 & 100 & 100 & 100\\
12.5 & 95 & 85 & 92\\
9.5 & 80 & 75 & 88\\
4.75 & 65 & 50 & 60\\
2.36 & 55 & 40 & 45\\
1.18 & 45 & 30 & 35\\
0.600 & 30 & 20 & 25\\
0.300 & 18 & 12 & 15\\
0.150 & 12 & 8 & 10\\
0.075 & 5 & 5 & 5
\end{tabular}
Using the provided aggregate gradations, calculate the percentage of each aggregate source (A, B , and C ) required in the blend to meet the Superpave aggregate gradation specification for a 12.5 mm Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size (NMAS).
Ensure that the combined blend meets the Superpave gradation requirements for each sieve size within the specified limits. Show your calculations.
