Answer 5.29
5.29
Table P5.29 shows the grain size distribution for two aggregates and the specifi-
cation limits for an asphalt concrete. Determine the blend proportion required
to meet the specification and the gradations of the blend. On a semilog grada-
tion graph, plot the gradations of aggregate A, aggregate B, the selected blend,
and the specification limits.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Grain size distribution for two aggregates and the Specification limit for an asphalt concrete.

It is asked to determine the blend proportion required to meet the specification and the gradations of blend.

And also plot semi log gradation graph of gradations of aggregate A and Aggregate B, the selected blend and the specification limits.
